So today we came back from lunch and the girls took Kaden outside to play and in true to Talbot family tradition we had yet another medical emergency. My neighbors dog Tucker who is described by his owners as "mean" was taken out for a potty break and was on his way back inside without a leash when the dog and my neighbor approached my kids and without provocation bit Kaden on the arm. Now Kaden was wearing a coat and my neighbor didn't even know that her dog had bitten Kaden. So she comes to my backdoor with my three hysterical kids and informs me that her dog knocked him over with his nose. No big deal right? Well I shut the door and took off his coat and I was met by a large amount of blood and a very badly cut arm. It was right in the crease of his elbow which I know to be the home of several veins, one artery and several tendons. I'm sure that more exists there but alas this is the extent of my medical knowledge. I grabbed some paper towels and immediately dialed 911. The cops showed up as well as several medics from the fire department and of course an ambulance. The doctors couldn't do a pretty stitch because they had to leave it open for any possible infection to drain out. So he is going to have one huge scar according to the Dr. but it was the safest way to treat the wound and folks I'm serious when I say that the following image is gross. The first one is after a dose of morphine but before the surgery (yes it was technically a surgery).
