The wood chip incident

It started with Mommy receiving an unexpected call from the school. Ms. Kathy shared that Andrew had a piece of wood stuck in his leg. At this point, Mommy is picturing a sliver, only to arrive and discover the below image. Andrew had managed to impale his knee with a small wood chip from the playground. Several of the school staff had tried to remove it unsuccessfully. A trip to convenient care was in order. Once there, the doctor numbed his knee, made a small incision on both sides of the wood chip and carefully removed it. Many tears and a week's worth of antibiotics later and Andrew's knee is good as new!
