So 4 stitches later....

Well we finally had our first run-in with stitches. I just thought Olivia would receive them first. Drew and I were at Old Navy yesterday and all the sudden I heard Drew scream. I knew it was a hurt scream so I rushed around the corner and his finger was cut wide open. I didn't see it happen but I just know he must of put his finger in one of the little metal holes that are everywhere in the store. Next time you're there just look and you will see all the holes just perfect for little fingers. Anyways I had a basket full of stuff so I took him up front where a worker was trying to clean his hand. You could tell by looking at it he needed stitches so I left for the Instacare. I called Tyler to meet me there. Olivia was in School during the whole incident. Let me tell you Drew was such a trooper besides the initial cry when it happened, not a peep from him. Some kids are totally just scared of even the sight of blood, not Drew, he would just look at it and say bud bud. We had to wait at the instacare, which doesn't make too much sense but because he was so good I don't think they realized how bad it really was. We finally went back and all nurses were just gawking over him because he was so calm and cute. The doctor gave us the choice to stitch it up or not. He said it would heal over time not stitching but it would take alot longer because it would come open from time to time. I kept thinking of blood on my carpet so we said stitch it up. This was going to be the hard part. Instead on me holding his legs down and possibly bruising him, the nurse literally laid on him, holding his whole body down. He did cry when they gave him the shots but it was short-lived. He just laid there watching this lady that was laying on top on him. The doctor realized while cleaning the cut it was much deeper than he thought, so I am glad we went for the stitches. So 4 stitches later, he's good as new. He was absolutely exhausted, so he crashed as soon as we got home. He was such a brave little kid, I am still amazed. This morning he had took off all the dressing from his finger and he was just looking at all the stitches. If it would of been Olivia it would of been a way more dramatic story to tell.
