Exciting Day At the Doc's




A couple of days ago we found out that D and I were eligible for medicaid. So Dan took D to the doc's office today because he has had a cough and sniffles for a while. Turns out he has a little ear infection and sour throat. Doc gave him some antibiotics. Dan went over to his mom's, Janeil's house for dinner that evening. I had called to see how the appointment went at around 3:30pm and Dan had told me that D went to jump into Janeil's arms and ran stright into the coffee table! It split open the brow of his nose. Dan had to take him back over to the doc's and get it glued shut; however, by the time I had gotten off the phone and walked through Janeils door, D had picked the bandage and the glue out of the abrasion. So off we went to the doc's again. When we got there he said that he should have gave him stitches in the first place because almost 100% of the kids who get it glued have to come back in to get it stitched because they pick at it. So they strapped D down to appopy board for kids and kind of looked like a little mummy. Dan held his head while the nurse put numbing stuff in the wound. Then they poked it a bunch of time with a seringe until the outersides turned white which was pretty cool! And then he took this hook thing and started stitching. It took a while I felt so bad for D. He kept telling us "No! No! No!.... mommy I stuck!" over and over then when we were all done he said "We done yet?" It was the sweetest thing. I took some pictures after we were finally home:
