STITCHES!!!


We had a terrible day on April 12. Our basement flooded due to the secondary water, so we had to haul a lot of our basement furniture to our garage.  We were in the garage working on drying out our lovesac and Logan decided to walk along the walls to find us in the garage.  He got to our door and made a noise like HELLO LOOK AT ME.  We both looked and he got so excited he started to fall and he grabbed the speaker stand next to the garage and the speaker stand fell on top of him and cut his head.  We had to rush him to the hospital because as you may know, head cuts bleed A LOT!!  He ended up having to get 10 stitches!!!  They had to sedate him to put the stitches in.  He is going to have an AWESOME scar!!!  I keep telling my self that it's character!  He was so good at the hospital.  We were there forever.  It happened about 10:00 am and we got to the hospital at 10:15 and we did not leave until 4:30 pm.  They didn't ever start the sedation until about 12:30.  They didn't put him totally out, it was a shot (Ketamine) they gave in him his leg that made him sleepy within 5 minutes but he was still conscious. After the stitches, we had to wait for him to come out of the sedation and be able to hold his head up and drink juice.  It was funny watching him come out of the sedation because they said it would feel like he was drunk.  He tried to crawl but could not hold his head up and he would hold up his hands and look at them like WOW!  I figured he would be fussy that night but he was so good.  We also figured he would rub the stitches but when we put the medicine on he never touched it.  WHAT A GOOD LITTLE BOY!!!
