Ok so to add to all the dramas my 4.5 year old was playing at a school playground while my friend and I were waiting for her kids to finish... next thing I know I heard a bang and him screaming..I stood up and as I did a lady across the playground said "Oh he is bleeding" So I ran around to find him COVERED in blood  all down him and his hands... this was a matter of seconds... got to the Drs and they ended up putting those strip thingees on... it wasnt holding the edges together or anything... The reason the Dr didnt want to suture was that i would traumatise him.. ?? I would rather it was fixed properly... anyways get home and its bleeding everywhere... rang nurse and she said just put pressure on it... ended up at the A and E and getting it seen to properly....he had already had the area shaved etc. so they glued it shut which yes it hurt but hey... its fixed better and will leave a smaller scar!
My son is really good... he just cried a little and was fine within a second... they were quite surprised! It just makes me mad he had to go through all that... I see it as unnecessary... 
Sorry... that was my rant   
This was the worst accident to happen to all my kids so far... so I guess that added to the stress of it?! |

Eeek! I haven't had to take my kids to the hospital yet, the worst we've had was a split ear (Hannah), that was pretty freaky cause I'm not the best when it comes to blood (fainting!) but we got to the docs alright. Glad your boy is glued up (fixed like a broken toy lol). Sometimes it's especially scary when it's a head injury cause it bleeds so quickly. -------------  |

I was surprised how much blood... it doesnt bother me so Im lucky... was able to sooth him etc and see what they were doing to him. Im hoping thats the last thing EVER! It was a bit stressful to say the least!!
Was disapointed the 1st Dr left it the way they did.. he would have had a big scar as well. |

Yikes, poor boy. Glad he's okay though. I can't stand blood either.. Ella gashed her head on the edge of a glass tv cabinet once, blood everywhere..
I couldn't stand it at all, had to look away while cuddling her while someone else held something to her head. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

He is saying he is like humpty dumpty... he fell off a wall and then got glued back together! HAHAHAHA With having 3 boys I guess I have to get used to blood etc anyway! |
