I finally got a picture of G's stitches. He goes Friday to get them out. I think he likes them because they are BLUE!
He and his big brother were whittling on the same piece of wood. Do you think a blood circle was broken here?!? A carving tool slipped and cut G's hand. I took one look at it and knew that it had to have stitches. So off to the doctor's office we go. When we walked in they were talking about derma bond. When the doctor came in he told us "the word on the street is that this is not a derma bond case".
I also decided that even though this is the one child of mine that looks like me, he must not be mine. He watched every thing the doctor did. He watched them irrigate the wound, he watched them put the numbing in it, he watched them use the needle putting in the stitches and his favorite part was the knots (cub scout at heart!).
I on the other side (literally) was crouched down so that G's chest was blocking the view of all of this!
He has taken very good care of it, no infections, still some bruising, which Dr. Bell says is only natural. And if we ever find his whittling chip (read #3 on card at bottom of page), I will have 3 corners off of it!
