We had a crazy night last night. After I got home from work, we ate dinner and then got ready for bed. We were all ready. Braiden was in the family room with J.T. just playing around before we went to sleep. He decided to start twirling around and tripped over his own feet and fell right into the stone ledge on the fireplace. I never liked that fireplace in our house. Anyway, I hear a bang and then screaming. J.T. said he hit his head. I went into the bathroom with them and all I saw was blood covering the washrag. I immediately freaked out! I didn't know if it needed stitches or not. I called my mom and dad and they came over. Dad said we should take him in. It was deep enough that someone should look at it. So last night at 9:30 pm we headed to the emergency room. Luckily, we got right in. They gave us our options and we decided to do a staple instead of stitches. I had never even thought of a staple. They brought out a staple gun. They didn't numb him because that would take longer and really cause more trauma. They just put the staple gun to his head and stapled. It was crazy! I was ready for a bang at the end and screaming galore. Nothing. There was no bang. It was very quiet when the staple went in. Braiden didn't even flinch. He just had this look like, what are you doing? I was so proud of him. I was ready to cry and he didn't even make a peep. I was so glad he was being so strong for me. I am grateful everything turned out so well. He is doing great staple and all!
Braiden holding his gun that they stapled his head with. He thought he was pretty neat because he got to keep the gun. I told J.T., that is one expensive gun! Above, that is Braiden's gash. You can't see the staple, but it is there!
