Stitches!

On Friday, i was at book club with my friend, Jannine, and I got an urgent call from Steve on her husband's cell saying that Wes had hit his head on the wall and he was on his way to the ER for stitches. The gash was only about 1/2 inch long, but pretty deep and Wes ended up with 4 little stitches and a tetnis shot. 
He was so brave! He sat and held my hands as they shot numbing stuff into the wound and then followed up with a fish hook looking thing in his head to stitch him closed.  I was amazed!

After the stitches, the dr covered it with a bandaid and sent us on our way. We kept it covered with a light bandaid so he wouldn't mess with it.  I took it off today and asked if he wanted to see it. He looked in the mirror, saw all the little strings hanging off and said, "it turned into a bug!"  Ha!
