Stitches twice in 7 days

 June 27, 2012
Today we went to the pool and we had only been there about 20 minutes when I saw Boston crying and bleeding.  Boston was jumping into the pool while spinning with a friend and landed on his chin and split it open.  I took Boston to the Urgent Care and they got him right in.  They had to put 7 stitches in, and the whole time Boston did really good, they didn't have to tie him down.  He didn't like the needle going in to numb it but stayed very still.  He was so brave!  The doctor was so amazed at how well he did.  After he was all done the doctor asked if he wanted a Popsicle and he got very excited.  The doctor told us to come back in 5 days and so on the 5th day we came in and got his stitches out and thought this was good and that he was all healed. But, later that night Will was playing with the kids and Boston fell on the ground and came running in and he had split it open again.  So again Boston and I went in to the urgent care for the second time that day, when we came in the doctor saw us and took us right back.  Once again Boston did really good with the stitches, this time they put in 5 stitches so that the scar would not be so big.  And then he asked the doctor if he could have 2 Popsicles this time, green and orange.  So, 5 days later we went back and had the stitches taken out again and we haven't been back since!




This is the second time we came in, he looks so happy!
