First Stitches

Last Wednesday, we went to a dinner hosted by the Young Women in our ward who are trying to raise money for a white water adventure this summer. At the end of the evening, as I was going to get the family to leave, Avery jumped off the stage and landed on Jeremy's foot. That catapulted him head first into the wall right onto a strip of molding. 

There was blood everywhere! One of the ladies, who is a nurse who works on the PEDS floor of the hospital, came to the rescue. I was running back and forth trying to get things to stop the flow of blood. They pulled out a table and laid him on top. The crowd of boys that had been jumping off the stage crowded around to see what was going on. The flow of blood got stopped and Jeremy took Avery into the ER. Avery came home with four stitches.

 Yesterday I took Avery into our Dr and got the stitches removed. They were replaced by glue and tacky strips. Avery did great holding still and letting Dr. Rutherford cut the stitches out.

I think he was jealous of the bands that Azrielle and Mommy got to wear. Now we all have had hospital bands on in the same week.
