Griff bumped his head at school when I was getting ready to pick him up. I think he was running away from me. He loves school and never wants to leave. Somehow he slipped and bonked his head on something. He was crying. When I picked him up, I noticed the blood in his eye. I took a second to assess the situation. I knew where we were headed…

Damn. Stitches.

This is the second time he has whacked his head open. I was much calmer this time around. I even had the piece of mind to stop home, drop off the dog, get some snacks, knowing we would be in the ER for a long time. I was right. It was a VERY busy night in the ER. We waited for 6 hours before we were seen. Griff was a trooper though, thank goodness. We finally got seen around 11pm. Luckily, he was pretty much asleep by then and didn’t put up too much of a fight. But I was right- 3 stitches. That’s in addition to the 7 stitches he got in March on the other side of his head. Poor kid. I think he is really working up to be a pirate!

    Ouch! Poor kiddo! It’s so hard to wait with little ones at the ER…you’d think they’d get them in a little quicker. Jimmy has had three staples in the back of his head….I about ate it! So much blood from a head wound! Plus they’re our babies!

    So, is it bad that I think that picture of Griffin is awesome? Love the angle.

    Thanks! I liked the pic too – now if we could just get him to stop getting stitches!

    I know- it’s so hard when they are our little ones. I asked the hospital if we could get a speed pass…
