Stitches for Christmas!

Just as we were going to sit down for Christmas dinner with my family in Seattle...  Dylan took a tumble off a recliner and onto a coffee table with a thick glass top.  

Heads bleed a lot!!  This was after it was cleaned up, bleeding stopped, bandage placed, and off to the ER we went.  Swedish Hospital in Issaquah.  They were great and very quick in checking us in.  We were greeted immediately by the security guard with a beanie baby for Dylan.  We waited quite a while for the doc to stitch it up but in hindsight, it was probably good since the topical was taped to the wound and had a good hour to soak in.  And she didn't need any more anesthetic before the suturing.
 This is the doc testing the site to make sure it didn't need more anesthetic.
 This is how open it was!  Gross!
 All stitched up and resting.
By the time we got home, we missed it all.  Oh well...  it will be a memorable Christmas.

Oh my gosh! Cannot believe how open it was. And she didn't have to be sedated or anything, just local (topical)? She's tough. Hoping for a speedy recovery! What a story...
