Not surprisingly, Chase went in to get his second set of stitches on Thursday evening of last week. The boys were in their PJs, finishing their homework in the kitchen when I turned around to see Chase trying to do "the worm" on the kitchen floor. In the blink of an eye, his hands slipped out from under him and his chin hit the floor hard. But a quick trip to After Hours Pediatrics in Hunter's Creek and a $50 co-pay had him stitched up (only three this time) and asleep in bed by 10:30 pm.
By the way, Nurse Melissa has taken out all the stitches
our kids have gotten thus far. Thanks Melissa!
PS - He almost had to get stitches again a few days later. He split his knee open when he slipped while running in the garage and jammed his knee under the sharp corner of Roger's big metal tool cabinet. We figured his knee will eventually be hairy (and probably be cut many more times), so we just bandaged it up ourselves. It's still healing. Go figure.
