so here is our first experience with stitches ever. frankly, i'm surprised it's taken us this long. jack was running around at the grocery store with shawn, ran smack into the edge of a table and popped his chin right open. thankfully, shawn is so calm in these situations, he grabbed jack's jacket, shoved it on his chin and we walked out of the store and drove down 2 block to his office. there are awesome benefits to being married to a PA.
unfortunately, i was remiss in thinking that jack would sail right through this cuz he's usually a pretty tough nut. he screamed and wrestled like we were cutting his leg off without whiskey, as shawn says. dr. preston came in and tried to put a cloth over his face so he wouldn't be able to see and that freaked him out. he went ballistic. took us about 2 hours to get i think 5 stitches in. poor kid.
the final product.
his face was swollen because of how hard he was crying. he actually popped blood vessels in his eyelids.
we managed to get blood everywhere, including the back of his shirt.
