Broken Nose

REMEMBER:

Our kids love to ice skate

Lance started school in August and only comes out to eat.

Well, one Tuesday Lance's dad said that he wanted to stop by and see the kids around 2pm. Lance told him that we would be at the ice rink. I reminded Lance that I needed to go grocery shopping and this is what I do while the kids skate. He decided to go with us to the rink, see his dad, then go with me to the store (he likes to grocery shop with me) after his dad left the rink. Well, Lukas did not think that Daddy watching him skate would be good enough and begged him to get on the ice. The little ones then thought they also should get on the ice. Lance felt bad about not spending a lot of time with the kids and agreed. Now all of my family is on the ice skating and I meet Lance's dad (Papa) at the door. We both go down by the ice to watch everyone skate. While watching the kids I see someone fly by out of the corner of my eye and then hear a thud. I thought "that is going to hurt". When I turned around I saw Lance laying on the ice. I yelled and he got up and looked at me. I saw blood coming out of his face and ran. I ran to the hockey coach, told him to go help my husband and then they called 911. I stayed in the lobby because I cannot handle seeing things like that. The kids were very interested and stayed with Dad and thought it was really cool when the fire fighters came to "fix" Daddy. I did not get any pictures until a week later because I could not look at him. This pic is just before the stiches were taken out. His eyes did not get any blacker than this. We were surprised.
This is how he looked for two weeks. I think he wore the bandage for so long so that I could look at him when we were talking.

A close up.

He is doing fine now, just has a slightly crooked nose and a scar. We are hoping the scar will lighten with time and don't think his nose will straighten with time. I should have an after picture, but didn't think about it until now. You can hardly even notice when you look at him.
