Jacob's stitches

Early in August, while LaNita was at a command orientation, the boys spent the day with their friend Thomas. Jacob ended up paying Jeff a visit at the medical clinic. When the boys were swimming at Agat beach, Jacob's knee came in contact with sharp coral or rock - and it won! I got a call to meet them at the clinic. I held Jacob's hand while he got his numbing shots and Jeff put 3 internal stitches in and then coached his corpsmen in finishing the 3 top stitches.

Several bandages and 10 days later, mom got in on the action and took out the stitches and applied the steri-strips.

Isn't growing up fun?? (and apparently a little dangerous at times!)
