Update 08/12/13 11:41 AM: After taking the head wrap and bandage off this morning, he has 11 staples. Here is a picture of it, for those interested. I don’t think it looks that bad but for those that are squeamish, figured I wouldn’t post the picture directly here.
So we had a fun night. Lucas took a tumble off of a chair, while McKinley and him were downstairs ‘cleaning’. Kryssi and I rushed downstairs, saw blood all over him, and after a quick look at his wound, knew we needed to go to the doctor.
He ended up getting quite a few staples (not sure exact count, will have to look tomorrow when we take the bandage off) and he wasn’t happy to get staples, as he was told a story about how Kendal had to get staples when he was younger, and so he was really scared about that. But he did great, the worst was the shots to numb it up. Once it was numb, he was fine.
But we get to go back in a week to remove the staples, and Lucas will probably have a nice scar for the rest of his life. On the bright side, I think this served as a good object lesson on why you shouldn’t climb on chairs, as I’ve been telling the kids not to climb on furniture multiple times.
Ninjas are cool. Wow, though. I’m so glad he’s okay.
Thanks Kay. It was a pretty scary thing. He’s doing great and the wound looks like its healing pretty good. 🙂
I’m afraid Nigel will be the next casualty. I try to remind him of what happened to Lucas when he’s climbing, but it doesn’t seem to be sinking in. Nigel will comment as he’s climbing, “Lucas owie”.
I hope he gets it soon because that wasn’t a fun experience for anyone!!!
