Ben got five stitches last night in his left hand. He picked up a knife that was on the counter and tried to cut himself some cantaloupe. Of course, he knows he's not supposed to use knives. I'm sure he won't ever try it again after this. A good friend who is a doctor happened to be at the house. He got his supplies and did Ben's stitches on our couch. Ben was brave. I was not. I'm usually not bothered at all when he gets hurt, but I was nauseous and jittery all evening. Truthfully, I was totally freaking out inside. Ben did great. He cried for the numbing shot, but was talking to the doctor while he stitched and then fell asleep while the last couple of stitches were going in. Both of these pictures were taken while he was sleeping.

Wow, stitches! What a trooper!
I just showed Madden this picture and he wants to go to Ben's house and kiss it better.
Oh my gosh! How traumatic for you! That is too funny that he fell asleep during the stitches! I'm glad there was a doc there and you didn't have to go through the whole after-hours clinic thing (or even worse--the ER). Take care!
...Just like his uncle Peter. :) Boys, you gotta love the trouble they get into. Sorry you had to experience feeling like that though... not fun.
What a brave boy! I'm sure it's a lesson well learned.
