On Tuesday morning, Karter and Keaton were playing when I heard a horrible scream. When I found Karter he had blood dripping down his forhead into his eye. Appearently he had fallen onto the edge of the frame of our laundry bag. We ended up having to take him up to Primary Children's Hospital to get 6 stiches. This is Karter's second time getting stiches and last time I passed out in the hall, so this time I decided I would leave before they started. They gave him a sedative called Versed, and then I went out in the waiting room. But appearently the Versed didn't work all that well. Kurt said he screamed and fought with the nurses for about a half and hour. It took three nurses to hold him down, they almost had to put him completly under, but they were finally able to get all the stiches in. By the time they called me back he was totally sweaty and exhausted. The doctor did say that the Versed will make it so he won't remember what happened. Lets hope so, because if this happens again (and knowing this child, it will!) we probably will have to knock him completly out!
While we were waiting to get his stitches they wrapped up his head. He thought it was pretty cool.
Oh the joys of boys. That one looks like it's going to leave a scar! Hopefully it won't be too bad. Dallin's staples left a scar, but its on his scalp & has hair to hide it a bit. Nice call stepping out of the room. I was alone with Dallin, or I would have preferred that. Not an easy thing to watch happen to your kiddos!
ReplyDeletePoor little guy! Hope he is doing better now.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Hopefully the stitches won't leave a scar, the dr's may not have been concerned with that considering they had such a hard time. I would be so happy I was not in the room to see that. whew.
