Chris’s Stitches

Last week on the 10th Chris was helping me make breakfast. I was putting some potatoes in the pan on the stove when I turned around and he was reaching for his glass of water and slipped on the chair. He hit the counter top and then face planted on the floor. He bit right through his lip. WOW, there was a lot of blood. Needless to say we ended up in the Emergency Room. They let the inside wound heal it’s self, but he got 4 stitches on the outside of his lip. They were in for 5 days, and then we went in and got them out. He had the same nurse. She had brought another nurse in with her to help her, when she walked in and saw that is was Chris she said, “oh you can go help someone else. I had him when he got them in and he is a great boy. I won’t need help”. That was really nice to hear, he really was a great patient. When they were putting in the stitches they had numbed it and then waited over an hour. When the Dr started putting in the stitches he wasn’t numb anymore. He put the stitches in anyways. I about lost it, but Chris was so brave. He just said “no more please Dr”, but didn’t move. I know that we wouldn’t have been as brave.

Chris is ALL BOY!! and is going to give us a run for our money (as they say). He DOES, and then MAYBE thinks about it. LOL!! He is quite proud of his adventures and will tell you all about them.
