FREAK ACCIDENT

Let me set the stage for you...

It was a normal evening at the Estes household. We had just finished dinner and watched a little bit of "Finding Nemo". Now it was bathtime. I gathered all of Cullen's necessary items, and we headed for the "big" bathroom (code for mommy and daddy's). Well, Brent and Aggie come in to see how things were going. Bath water is not even on yet. Aggie tries to get in the bed, and Brent wants her off. He tries to get her out of the room. Cullen and I are in the bathroom, but listening to the commotion. I guess Nomar was in the front of house listening, also. Nomar is a special dog, and his interpretation was "Oh boy, play time!" All 100 pounds of him comes running full force into the bedroom where Brent is half sitting/half lieing and trying to remove Aggie from the bed. He then jumps for the bed as Brent turns around to catch Nomar's head directly in the face. Then there was a scream. Cullen did not leave the bathroom. I went flying in the bedroom to find Brent on the floor and blood pouring from his face. All I got was Nomar.

He got it cleaned up but couldn't move his right eye. His nose kept bleeding on and off. The pain was making him sick. He laid down and took ibu's to try to help the pain. We decided that since he felt like his eye was going to fall out and that his face, nose and teeth were in pain, that we should go to the emergency room.

Emergency room visit:

Always enjoyable especially with a two year old. You know that they didn't believe the old story of the dog head butting Brent. You get those looks. Anyway, hours later he is off for a CAT Scan. He returns and hours later the results are back. It is broken. The force was so hard that it went the through the large front bone in his face and broke one of the eye socket bones. Yes, painful. He will have to visit a face doctor in a few weeks to make sure it is healing correctly. Right now pain killers. Lots and lots of pain killers...

Brent needs lots and lots of love.

Nomar needs lots and lots of prayers of protection...
