The plan for Labor Day was to invite family over, have a BBQ, and get ready for the boy’s first day of school.
Instead we ended up spending late Monday afternoon in the emergency room. My son ran up the stairs and fell hard on his chin. This opened up a 1 inch gash under his chin! It stopped bleeding almost immediately but he needed stitches to close the gap. So we took him to the emergency room.
The emergency room was okay and we only waited about an hour or so. He was not hurting and kept insisting that the bandaid was all he needed.
He really only did not like the pain killer shot they gave him to numb up his chin. Once that took effect, we all talked about toy trains while the nurse put stitches in his chin. Today it looks fine and Saturday we are going to have the stitches removed.
