Ammon's 1st trip to the E.R.

& Hopefully the Last!
So, Last night at about 8 pm we decided to take Ammon to the E.R. because we knew he needed stitches or something. Nothing too scary or serious. But, he got a pretty deep gash right under his lip. Ouch! It was open and deep. Blood was gushing out and it got all over his shirt and pants. (Alley, the one who can't stand the word "blood" or the sight of any was freaking out a bit, which was not helping)
So, we went ahead to the E.R. and they fixed him all up. Instead of stitches they did the Dermabond Adhesive which is a lot easier, especially for kids. (hmmmm...I'm wondering if super glue would have worked and maybe wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg???? =) Not sure if that's safe and on the face....not sure????)
He was so good and as happy as could be at the Doctor! I wish I would have got a before picture, it looked pretty gross! Right here its looking pretty good, this is right after we got home. He got a Doctor hat that says "Dr. Ammon" and a giant syringe. He thought it was pretty cool.
Here he is Day 2, kinda looking a little yucky...I hope it heals okay. This is the Enemy!
Mommy's Metal Magnetic Musical Staff Board! The kids were running around playing and of course I still had it out from music class and Ammon fell and cut himself right open. Moms Fault!! Dang it!

Maverick had to have stitches in almost the same spot when he was almost 18 months. You can barely see the scar now. I hope Ammon is feeling better soon!!

Oh man that stinks. Its probably a good thing you took him in. You dont want a big scar in his face when he is older. Still is way cute though
