Accidents Happen!

Yesterday afternoon Nikolai had his first accident that required a trip to Insta Care (we suspect he will be there often). He was standing by the door that leads to the garage and Robert opened the door just right and split his forehead open. He cried for a few minutes while we were trying to clean up the blood and assess if he needed to go to the doctor's for some stitches. He did! So we took him up to Insta Care (our pediatrician office told us to take him to PMC but we felt that he didn't need to go there since the bleeding had already stopped). He was so brave and good to let the nurse look at the cut and then put some numbing gel on the surface just in case he was going to get stitches it would have made the process alot easier. When the they called his name 20 minutes later to go back and have his vital checked he was awesome, he knew how the finger monitor worked (because of dad's portable one) he stood on the scale (34 lbs) and they took his temperature. And then the nurse had to clean the area with a syringe of water so that we make sure it was good and clean to prevent an infection. The doctor looked at it and said we could use the Durabond glue so we would not have to have the stitches..Yippee! He laid so still and let the doctor glue the edge together and off we went. He then spent the rest of the afternoon running an playing and squirting everyone with the syringe that they gave.
