Trying to figure out who is winning between Luca and the furniture. Both are leaving their marks on each other! The corner dent was from another encounter to his head several years ago.

Luca's head
Today the boys were fighting over something and before I knew it I hear this big crack and cry from Luca. Thankfully for a head wound we were able to get the bleeding to stop fairly quickly. However, it appeared that we needed to get him to the ER to seal up the wound. This is Luca's third visit to the ER for such an issue. He is such a tough kid...and I think the tears were initially more out of anger at his brother than over his hurt head. We washed him up and disinfected the area since last time the medical professionals didn't attend to that step before gluing him up.
Three hours later my trooper of a husband and little boy returned home with this...
So I guess Luca admitted that his neck was hurting him too. So they took an x-ray of his neck and it appears to be more straight that curved signifying there was some stress put on the neck from the fall. He will have the neck brace on for a few days and will have to keep his head dry for 5 days. Grandparents: don't worry, he is okay. You know Luca!!
On the plus side, making the call of whether or not to go to the ER is always pretty easy knowing that you won't have to worry about a bill. Sure, you wait longer for services, but at least it is free.

Luca, Luca, Luca- you are such a brave boy! So glad that it wasn't a more serious injury. Uncle Ben was glad that they could "glue" you instead of stitches like he had! Hope your neck feels better soon!
Love,
Munga and Gramma
