Piece of Lead

We were all getting into the car to take Danny to scouts today and he kneeled on a pencil. We really didn't think it was too bad cause he wasn't crying or anything but to be safe we pulled over and turned on the light. There was a piece of lead stuck into his knee!! We turned around and rushed home to pull it out with tweezers. These are pictures of Danny trying to dig it out with Braden being his coach. At one point Braden pulled out a knife to help dig it out. Danny at that point started freaking out. We were just concerned about lead poisoning so we were in a panic to get it out.

Here is a picture of the piece of lead when Danny finally got it out of his leg.... It was a pretty big piece. Afterwards Danny washed it and got it to bleed then we bandaged him up.Look at the big hole!! He is a pretty tough kid. Danny I'm so glad you were so brave.

I really don't know why...you'd think we were more adult than that...but he ended up stabbing me in the forehead with his pencil. The lead didn't stick like it did for your brother, but I still have the little black spot to prove it. Tell Danny that he just got his first and only tattoo! ;); January 26, 2009 at 11:14 AM
