Busted Lip

After going with Papaw to the barns to help him feed the animals, Evan really wanted to go to Mamaw and Papaw's church. As we were getting things ready to give him a bath, he was playing with some of the little tractors in the kitchen. He had his hands filled with the little toys and tripped on Uncle Hoss' boots that were by the patio door and fell onto the wooden stool that was sitting next to the table. Instead of catching himself with his hands, his lip hit the stool. He immediately cried and I noticed that his lip had a decent sized gash and was bleeding quite a bit. Papaw thought we should take him to the hospital in case he needed stitches.

In the room waiting for the Dr. to come in to see us. 

They said he was going to need stitches so they put a gauze pad with some numbing medicine over his lip. 

Getting prepped for the numbing shots and then the stitches.

Evan got 3 stitches. He did so well throughout the entire process. He never once cried, whimpered or even flinched. The nurses and Drs. were very impressed with how well he handled everything and we were so proud of him. 

The nurse practitioner promised to give Evan a popsicle for doing so well. 

He asked if we were going to Mamaw and Papaw's church and was very disappointed to find out that it was now too late to make it to church that morning. He was just as happy to go back to Mamaw and Papaw's house.
