STITCHES

Today I put up the kids pool in our front yard for the boys to swim along with their friends our neighbors.  Well they got to playing to rough (like boys always do) and our neighbor pushed Drew and Drew fell into our lava rocks in our flower bed.  He cut his knee open pretty bad! We took him to the Dr. and Dr. Whiting fixed it right up! he had to have 2 layers of stitches! 9 stitches in all!! first layer they will dissolve and second layer he goes back in a week to get them out. He can’t get that knee wet at all which for Drew is going to be very CHALLENGING!!! lol  He was SOOOO good and brave getting the stitches! He didn’t cry or throw a fit at all when getting 5 injections of novacane to numb up his knee.  He was actually laughing! He tends to laugh when he’s nervous.  He amazed the nurse! she was expecting to bring a lot more nurses in to hold him down but she was just floored!! If this had to happen thank gosh it was Drew!! all the other 3 boys would have freaked out!!!! Drew is the only child that has had stitches twice now and is our fearless and most brave child!!! He was such a trooper we had to go get some yummy treats after.  Luckily he gets the stitches out 2 days before his birthday where he wants to go to Jump on it!!! I’m thinking he got 9 stitches since he’s going to be 9!!
