Axton and his Stitches!

I had my first experience with a call to work to pick Axton up because he needed stitches. At Amanda's he was playing in a pop up tent where a plastic toy was broken and as Axton was getting out he scraped his knee on the broken toy. It was cut wide open, but she said he didn't even really cry. I took him to All Children's Clinic where he saw Dr, Verma. They had to put him in something that looked like a straight jacket (scary scary). He got three stitches and it wasn't pleasant. Afterwards they gave him a Popsicle and he fell asleep with it in his mouth. I felt so bad for my little man, but he is tough and handled it pretty well. The day after getting his stitches two of them popped out!! Amanda called me to pick him up, so off we went. This time we did not replace the stitches because to much time had passed. We cleaned it with peroxide and Neosporin. Wednesday, April 3 we got his last stitch out. He screamed at the sight of the room, louder when he saw the nurses, and crawled up my neck when Dr. Verma came in. He will have an ugly scar, but it makes for a good story. Luckily he has a great babysitter that doesn't panic and knows me well enough to know how to not make me panic :). All is well now and hopefully no more stitches haha!
