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!
Glad to hear he did not require any stitches or a major procedure. My son was recently in an accident too and he fell off his bike, he was a bit hurt but most of all I think the incident shocked him a bit, I think the speed and the impact really gave him a hard time. Thanks for sharing.
