RING RING....

It's 2:30 in the morning... ya think your kids are all safely tucked in their beds a night...

Not if they are in Provo!  What is it about that place?  Life really starts at 11 p.m.  Have those zoobies not enough time during the day?  Why do they wait till the midnight hour to go to Wendy's for a hamburger?  On a bike.  Which has a bad tire. Without a helmet.

So we get a call (2:30 am) that starts something like this.  "Dad, how do you stop bleeding?"
huh!?  "HOld pressure, Colin,  take your shirt off and hold pressure on it." ( I am freaking out by now.)  Colin would never call with any injury UNLESS it was really BAD. This I know.  He gets the head bleed to stop.  A car stops by  (more zoobies out for a joy ride, what time is it...?) They say they notice blood on the road and does Colin need help.  He calls us when he gets to Utah Valley ER. "has the bleeding stopped?"  Colin tells us it has so Brian says, "well, maybe you won't need stitches then."  Colin:  "Uh..no, dad, pretty sure I am going to need stitches."
Yep...23.
Colin says: "Ya shoulda seen it before it got all sewed up."

AHHH!! That is terrible! I can't believe I didn't see this on Sunday! It must have been the daze I get into on Sundays with the kids. That is terrible! :( Hope he heals soon... Provo is a crazy place, indeed. :)
