Just Another Head Wound...

March 2, 2011 It is 9.30pm and we are now home from the hospital after an unexpected accident. Daniel decided to sit on the metal railing outside and did a backflip onto the concrete hitting his head on the metal bar once landing resulting in an 1.5inch laceration to the back of the head. The doctor actually showed me his skull....ewwww! He was absoultly hysterical. He kept screaming that he didnt want stitches. Doctor cleaned it and gave him 6 "numbing shoots" which did NOT work as he screamed with each needle and staple insert. Phillip was on the verge of passing out. Daniel had to :see: the needle, :see: the staple thingamagiggy, which prolonged the stress and process. All in all, he seems fine as of now. ------------------------------------------------- NEXT DAY: Even after the accident last night, Daniel insisted that he go to school today. I let him sleep in and rest this morning and he woke up mad at me because I did not wake him up for school. After much debate about him staying home, he won, and is now at school. I truely believe the reasoning behind him wanting to go to school were based on the "battle wounds" he was able to show off. BTW, he says he broke his head.
