Stitches

It has happened---- The boy got stitches!! He was in the shower and slipped and fell on the way out hitting his head.  His head hit the metal edge of the shower leaving a little gash.  I was unsure if he needed stitches or not even though I do that for a living. So I called Daddy who was at work and sent him pictures of the gash and Daddy came home.  We took him the the ER ( a free standing ER near our house--which was great--no wait)----- here our photos from our trip

The gash!! About 10 minutes after the fall he was in a good mood again, this is him at home waiting for Daddy to get there so we can go

Emma got to come too!! She was awake the whole time laughing and then right before the stitches she fell asleep and slept through Ryan screaming the whole time and then she woke up in time to go home.  What a great sister!!!

Sitting in the bed, poor thing had no clue what was about to happen.

Playing with gloves while we waited for them to setup.  Now I have no pictures of the procedure because I had to be a good mom and hold my child down!! Plus Mike said no photos during the procedure!! Ryan screamed the entire time--wow he is strong he was wiggling the entire time even with three of us holding him and the doctor stitching.  But in the end he really did well. 

The final picture on the way home.  The wound is closed with four stitches.  Ryan's eyes were soo puffy from crying the whole time, and then we got home and he slept.  The best part about the event is Daddy's chief/ captain said he didnt have to go back to work so we got him home on an unexpected day.  I am sure this is not the last time that I will go to the ER with this child.  The best is this morning he wanted to get in the shower again but we decided not today, lets wait to have that happen again.
