....he was foolin' around with his buddies - you know, typical 16-year-old teenager, wrestling stuff, when he apparently hit his ear.....he said that his ear was hurting him on Monday, but not so bad yesterday, until one of his classmates happened to look at his ear, saying, "WTH happened to your ear?" He's a wrestler, so he knows about 'cauliflower ear'; they both went to the gym teacher who looked at it and suggested that he see a doctor. Well, Dylan called me from school, where I picked him up and we immediatley went to his pediatrician. An hour later, was were headed for the emergency room and waiting for the plastic surgeon to look at his ear. Originally, the ped. dr. said that it was a hematoma, but Dylan actually tore (fractured) the cartilage. So, the surgeon had to cut it open, drain out the fluid, repair the torn cartilage, and sew it back up...
8 hours of non stop talking w/bronchitis is tough..I feel much better since I've been home, probably because I don't have to talk
(I REA-A-A-A-ALLY want to laugh right now....)
