Yesterday I got the call that all mothers fear. The school called me in the afternoon and said, "There has been an accident involving your student at recess and we need you to come and take a look at your son, he may need stitches." Poor Blake collided with another 5th grader while playing Football at recess and the other kids teeth went into the back of Blake's head. This kid had lost the other teeth that surround the two front teeth so they easily sliced the back of Blake's head right open. After the bleeding all over, they cleaned him up and called me. I raced up there and took him to the doctors. He had a wide wound and the doctor had to stitch closed the gaping wound and pull his head together, surprisingly enough, he only needed three stitches, I can't believe that was all that is holding his head together again, but once the first stitch was in, the doctor was able to pull his scalp back together.
Here is a picture of his stitches when it was all over with.
Luckily it was just stitches and not a broken bone or something worse! All is well and Blake was a tough kid. He was happy to go to school today and show off his war wound to his concerned friends and discuss all the bloody details. Boys are so gross!
