10 Stitches



We almost made it to Jaxon's 3rd birthday before stitches. Yesterday we were getting ready to take naps and our little busy Huds knocked over grandma's big tall lamp and the glass shattered on Jax's head. As soon as the blood started gushin' I knew it wasn't going to be good. I calmly carried Huds to the top of the stairs, grabbed Jax and carried him up the stairs then called mom. I think the phone call went a little like this: 
B: Mom, I need your help
M: What happened?
B: Huds knocked over the lamp in the basement and it shattered on Jax's head
M: Is he okay?
B: I don't think so
M: Is he bleeding?
B: Yes
M: I'll be right there!
I'm pretty sure mom was home in like one minute. I know I am 31 years old but I will always need my mom. She makes everything better. We decided Jax needed stitches and off we went to the Urgent Care. Mom stayed and watched Huds while Jax and I were at the doctor. Jaxon did AMAZING! He didn't even cry. As the doctor was stitching him up, Jax turned to him and said "you should get a t.v. in here". It was so funny. To top it all off, Jax got a coupon from the doctor for a free ice cream cone. He was pretty happy about that!

Wow,,,by the looks of those cuts, I'd say he is one lucky boy!! I shudder to think of what could have happened!!
Glad you are tough and doing well, Jaxon.
Give him a hug for me.
Love,
