1 Urgent care visit requiring surgical glue to close the wound. approx $249.00
Another urgent care visit 9 days later for a different injury,this time requiring 9 stitches. approx $360.00
All the high fives and knuckles he's getting from other males
while being officially inducted into boyhood.
$ PRICELESS
Ok I guess I should explain the recent events that led up to so many stitches.
Little Gordy is definitely his Fathers Son. He is active and into everything, never sits still
climbs on everything. Jumps off everything. A ton of Fun!!
The first trip to the urgent care was a result of a run in with a hot cocoa mug at Walmart.
I was unloading the shopping cart at the checkout, with the help of my little injury magnet.
When I pulled a mug out of the cart as he was bending down to hand me something.
One loud dink to the eyebrow and we were off the the Urgent care to get stitches.
It was such a freak accident, I still don't know how it happened.
Thankfully the urgent care said the gaping wound wasn't to deep and they could just glue it closed, no shots. So we glued it and headed for a treat, this time it was a bubble blowing set.
He was such a big Boy, and so Brave.
OK injury #2
This time we were at the School picking up the girls, I was talking to another parent in the hall.
little Gordy was of course running all over the office while Alexis chased him.
He came running through the doorway, tripped, fell and hit the metal door jam.
This wound was the worst I have ever seen. It cut through every layer of skin and you
could see the white bone underneath. Off to the Urgent care again, this time we went to the Hospital's Urgent care center. We got there and I told the triage nurse I think I see bone, they said no chance of gluing this one. It took 9 stitches total to close this one. 2 internal and 7 on the outside. He missed his nap so he fell asleep while we were waiting for a room. The Urgent care did such a good job numbing up the wound, he slept through the shots and the stitching.
The staff at the desk said they were impressed at how good he was during stitches.
They couldn't believe he slept through the whole thing.
The stitches have not slowed him down one bit. I am constantly chasing him and trying to divert him from hazardous things like door jams, and table corners. We are strongly considering getting him a little motorcycle helmet to wear all the time.

All I can say is Boys!!! They are so fun!!
Unfortunetely I can easily see one of these type of posts in my future. What can you do? (besides having hugs and kisses handy) That worked out well though that he slept through it. It could have been so much worse!
Poor little guy! I saw the stitches but didn't know how they had happened. I'm glad he seems to be healing well!
wow, that second injury is gross looking! poor little guy.
