Head Wound

We had a pretty traumatic day on Friday. I went to pick the kids up from our friends house, she watched them while I was at my Dr.'s appointment. We were talking for a minute on the front porch and the kids were playing. Cade was walking/running towards the door and tripped. He hit his head right on the edge of the brick step. We new right away that it probably wasn't good. Head wounds bleed so much, it finally slowed down and we could see that I should take him in to get it looked at. He was not a happy boy. The Dr. took him back and started squirting cold water on it for a long time. After doing that for awhile and Cade almost throwing up a few times because of screaming so hard, she pulled out the stapler. They don't numb they just start stapling away. I felt so bad for my little boy, he was in so much pain, I thought he was going to pass out. There were four nurses and me holding him down. After five staples she was done. A sucker seemed to solve everything pretty fast. We went home and gave him Tylenol and a nice nap. When he woke up he was back to his happy self. We have to keep giving him Tylenol because he will start to touch his head and say "ow". He only has to have them in for five days. Wednesday we get to go back in and get the staples taken out. This makes me cringe thinking about. The Dr. made it sound like its no big deal. It is just always so sad when things like this happen to your kids. He his a tough little one, and is just fine, nothing a few staples can't take care of.
