Last night I was opening a package that I had ordered, a set of glass tuperware for the kitchen. And Will, being the helpful little guy he is, reached in and tried to help pull out one of the dishes . He had barely touched the glass dish when he quickly pulled his hand away and I noticed blood dripping from his finger. After saying a few choice words I grabbed some tissues and dad and we held pressure to it for what seemed like a good 30 minutes. To make a long story short, the pressure wasn't helping and the more we got to looking at it...the cut was pretty deep and not looking so good. I had to go to work so Mike ended up taking Will to the after hours kids clinic and had them check it out. Will didn't end up needing stiches but they did irrigate it, put dermabond (glue) on it, wrapped it up, gave him some Motrin and sent them on their way. I'm very proud of both of my guys, Will for being such a brave little trooper and Mike for....well...the same. Mike's not a big fan of doctors offices and blood so I'm proud of him too! I was feeling horribly guilty for not being there for Will but I knew he was in great hands with his dad. We ended up calling Crate and Barrel (the company I had ordered the dishes from) today to ask whether we needed to return just the broken bowl or the entire set...as we were talking to them we told them what had happened to Will. They were horrified and the next thing we know we get a call from Crate and Barrel's management saying that they were going to pay for all of Will's medical bills and they were sending us a replacement set of bowls for no charge! We are so grateful to them! We'll definitely be shopping with them again and hope you will too! And as you can see from the picture, Will is doing great!

Just a little glue..man you got out lucky. I am glad your boys are all doung fine. Hurray for Mike for being so big and brave...Will too!
Poor little guy! I bet you hated having to leave him to go to work. That is so awesome about Crate and Barrel, it's hard to find companies like that these days!
I'm glad he's ok! What a brave boy, or boys. Way to pull through, Crate and Barrel!
