We visited a pool today for our day off, and Zach had a little mishap on the slide. 
Fortunately, a doctor friend in the States had JUST sent some medical strength stitch-replacing glue for situations just like this. Unfortunately, we hadn't put any of it in the car yet, so we had to wait til we got home to use it. We were able though to pinch it together with a home-made butterfly bandage so the blood wouldn't clot and prevent us from closing it by the time we got home. Then we were able to remove the butterfly bandage (OUCH!) and use the glue to "stitch" him up once we were home. 
As always, Zach was a real trooper, and he has been assured that "chicks dig scars" by the volunteers that are with us right now. 
If that is true, chicks are really gonna dig our boys! I love this pic of the finished product. Can you see the 2 smaller scars just under the new cut from previous accidents? Then the remains of a boil on his forehead, one starting on his cheek, and a long scratch to top it all off. Never a dull moment! :)

you guys are saying "not again"! We can't keep up with the number of EVENTFUL things that happen to you guys! I'm glad you had the glue and that he's okay. The snake story is scary! Miss you guys!
I was only offline for a few days, and now I see that a lot can happen to you guys in a short amount of time!!! Tell Zach that he looked very brave in those pictures!
