Stitches


In June my basketball loving son was excited to watch the Basketball playoffs. The Jazz were done for the season so he was cheering for the Oklahoma City Thunder he became a huge fan of them because they beat the Lakers!! He HATES the Lakers! He was so excited that his dad told him he could stay up late and finish the watching the game that he came running back into the living room when..... SMACK!  He his head on the end table! The sound was HORRIBLE!! I jumped up as fast as i could yelling for Brandon. I pulled Coltons hands away from his head to see blood pouring out of sweet little boy I grabbed a towel and was rushing to get my shoes on. I got Colton in the Truck while Brandon got his shoes on, and we were off to the Dr. We went to the local Insta Care here in West Jordan instead of the ER, and boy were we happy with that! They brought a dr out right away to start the numbing gel and then let him sit and watch Finding Nemo....Colton was not happy that they did not have the Basketball game missing the end of the game was worse then having to get stitches for him!! The numbing gel took about a half hour to work so we sat in the waiting room while everybody in there kept giving him updates until the game was over.  The Thunder WON!!! He thinks it was all for him cause he was in the hospital(or so he tells me). After the numbing gel was working they took us back and cleaned up his cut...it looked like he had a 3rd eye!!! The Dr came in to sew him and Colton did AMAZING!!! He sat perfectly still and just asked the Dr questions about his kids. After he was all stitched up with 8 stitches(1 on the inside and 7 across) we left to go home. All in all it was a long night but the stitches came out a week later and now the scar is hardly noticeable. Colton loves to  show it off to anyone who want to see because it makes him tough!!
