First Stitches

Yesterday Jackson was wrestling in the basement with Asher and knocked his head on the corner of a wall. He started rubbing his head and got a hand smeared with blood. Mitch checked it out and and decided it probably needed a few stitches, but unfortunately didn't have any at home and his clinic was closed, so Mitch took Jackson to the ER. Jackson was tough and brave, and charmed the ER staff. He asked a billion questions, and was fascinated with everything they did. He did great with the lidocaine injection and the 2 staples to close the wound. When they gave him some candy for being so brave, he politely asked for another one for his brother. It was pretty sweet he was thinking about his little brother even though he was hurt. He was excited when he got home to show everyone his staples. We recognize this is likely just the start of his need for stitches, if he is anything like his dad.
