Trip to the ER

What started as a fun morning at a park with friends, ended as an afternoon in the ER with my 4.5 year old.  Patrick fell off some of the playground equipment and landed on his chin.  It was bleeding a lot and there was a big opening.  My friend followed me to the ER and then took the other three kids and I stayed with Patrick.  The first thing the nurse did was put some lidocaine on it.  Patrick was feeling better already.

After another dose of lidocaine, the doctor put seven stitches in his chin. Patrick was happy to play Angry Birds on the hospital's iPad while the doctor sutured him.

Battle wound:

Luckily it is not someplace that is too visible.  He's a happy guy now.
