Stitches

This is the picture I sent to my sisters asking if we should go in or not.

Here's an after picture

and one more after pic

Emery was running from me (his new favorite game) and he was not watching where he was going and ran smack into the corner edge of a dinner table. It hit him right over his eye, right in his eyebrow. It hardly bled at all and Clint wasn't sure he needed stitches, but it seemed really deep to me. Clint guessed it would take 2 stitches to close it up. Clint stayed home with Chani and Emery and I went to the ER. It took about 45 minutes for the doctor to come, and then about 10 minutes for the 2 stitches. They strapped Emery to the papoose board, and then a nurse held his head. He screamed the whole time, but I don't blame him at all. Once they unstrapped him he was fine, saying thank you and bye like a champ. I will post pictures on our blog tomorrow. It's a rite of passage I could have skipped as a mom. But, I was tough and the nurses even commented on how nice it was to have a calm mom.
