First stitches!

Last Friday evening right before Michael got home Caleb was coloring and cutting paper and decided to put a piece of paper on his mouth and act like he was going to cut it. Instead of cutting the paper he cut his lip BADLY! Michael pulled up in his truck right as it happened. I was holding a paper towel over his lip to try to stop it from bleeding and yelled at Michael to come inside. He continued to unload his truck and I yelled again more frantically. He ran inside and started holding the towel for me. Caleb was bleeding everywhere! Caleb was crying and Michael and I were both in shock from seeing all of our little boy's blood. We decided he probably needed stitches, so I started to get Trevor's jacket, and by that time Michael had already left. He said he didn't even think about it, he just knew Caleb needed help. I didn't mind because Trevor would not have liked sitting in the waiting room and I really didn't want to see Caleb get stitches. Caleb only had to get one stitch. The doctor said it was a good thing we brought him in because he cut his lip in a place where it probably would've grown back in a weird way if we hadn't. Caleb even got to go out for ice cream with Daddy after he was all done! Check out all the blood on Caleb's shirt... Caleb had blood all over his face too.
Michael took the stitch out last night. Caleb wimpered a little, but was a big boy overall. Notice how serious Michael is with his head light!

Right before he snipped it...

He got it out pretty easily, and Caleb's lip has healed quite nicely.

Also, I wanted to mention that these were the blunted edged kid scissors. I never thought they would do that much damage. I mean Caleb has been using scissors for 2 years or so! I'm so glad he is okay.
