Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later; I just didn't think it would be this soon. Fortunately, it wasn't a full-blown leap into the emergency room with dozens and dozens of stitches. Every parent, by now, knows what I'm talking about- your child, typically a son, busting open his chin. Bryce did it this afternoon on the playground, and while the details are still a bit foggy, the results were clear: a trip to urgent care would be necessary. I received the dreaded call from the nurse's office towards the end of the school day and was relieved to hear that Bryce was calmly taking it all in.
Fortunately, with a little topical anesthetic and a healthy dose of Dermabond, we were able to escape stitch free. I know this won't be the last trip to urgent care, but I will now know that the pediatrician's office does not do sutures (go to urgent care), and this kid stayed tough all the way through. Good job, Brycie!
