Dimitri...bikes...ER...staples...

Dimitri was playing outside with some friends today, when he had a crash and burn moment. Once we cleaned the area of blood we evaluated the laceration to determine if it would need to be closed. So we packed up and headed to the ER for them to decide. Here are some before and after shots. He now gets to sport around with 2 staples for 10 days, until they can be safely removed. This was not a fun experience for our poor kid that needed 4 of us to restrain him while they placed the staples. He was as brave as to be expected when they don't even numb the area.

2 you stopped by, so say Hi!:

I couldn't believe that they didn't numb the area, but David told me they never do, because it hurts more to numb than just doing it, unbelievable!!!! I hope the little guy isn't too tramatized!!
