Stitches

Second trip to the ER, first time with stitches. Dane tripped and fell last Saturday afternoon...his head slammed into a FLAT wall and split. He had a (probably) 1 inch gash over his right eye, into the hairline. Kale was napping, I was upstairs and Cameron & Dane were literally about to head out the door when I heard a big thud come from the basement followed by Cameron yelling "DANE" and then immediate crying like I've never heard before. Cameron came rushing upstairs with a pretty hysterical Dane in his arms with blood pouring down the side of his face....we quickly sat him on the counter, grabbed a towel and got him calmed down. We peeled the towel away from the gash and knew we had to head into the ER. Thankfully absolutely no one was there and we got back to a room right away. I was in the waiting room with Kale for most of it....even though I wanted to be back there with Dane, it was probably better that Cameron was handling all of that...not sure I could have handled much of it knowing my baby was hurting. Everyone said Dane & Cameron did incredibly well...a total of 7 stitches...2 inside, 5 outside.

Trying to keep the numbing gel in place....kind of a worthless endeavor

Just before being released...happy, happy once it was all over
