We have a first today…first stitches. I got a phone call from the school that said a block hit C and he is bleeding pretty bad but it is slowing down with pressure. So I run out of work, drive like a maniac, go into the school and there he is sitting on his teachers lap with her hold a gauze pack against his head. My poor baby. Doesn’t even look like he cried. This kid is TOUGH. He actually did but got over it quickly. So we called the doc and the office said to go to ER; I refused because it wasn’t worthy of sitting in a staph infected hospital around pain killer addicts there for a fix; and letting a young resident/doc experiment with stitches. The bleeding almost had stopped. So we saw the awesome doc on rollerblades and he made a few phone calls and we ended up with a surgeon who stitched him up with 4 stitches. C did not even cry with the needles; when they were administered he clenched his fists, teeth, eyes, and fought the pain! I am amazed by his courage, strength, and will! I learn something everyday that helps me in my life through these kids! By the way, we are home 2 YEARS as of 5/23; he is 3 yrs, 4 months old and is 41.5 inches tall AND 38.6 lbs!! My BIG BOY!
