After a visit to the emergency room last night, Ollie is now stuck to himself. He was running around with a blanket over his head, tripped on the blanket and went head first into the entertainment center shelf that the TV sits on. He started crying immediately and blood flowed. His face was bloody, but not too bad by the time we got the bleeding to stop.
We loaded him into the car and took him down to the ER. He was quiet most of the time other than to tell us about every street light on the way. They checked him out and sent him back to a ER room to see if he needed stitches. Luckily the cut was small enough that he was able to have his head glued together with dermabond. The stitch alternative sounded much worse for Ollie.
It would have involved pinning him down and with a blanket and getting needles in the head to numb the area. Then he would've had to hold still while they stitched. Not an ideal situation. Instead, the doctor pinched the skin together, while Ollie stared at the strange person. No screams or tears, he just kept staring. He got a popsicle for being such a good kid, but only wanted to tear up the cup it came in. He went home, played and returned to his normal self.
They also found a small ear infection, so he is now on Amoxicillin twice a day. He went to bed late and was tired this morning and crabby, but he seemed ready to go. Guess he has his first real injury among his bumps and bruises.
