Stitches



At the end of February Carson was riding his friends bike and he got going too fast.  The chain came off and down he went.  He hit his chin on a rock in the road.  In this first picture he has a numbing cream on his chin. 

In this second picture they are irrigating the wound to clean it out.  There were a couple of tiny pieces of rock that had to be taken out by the doctor with a pair of tweezers.  He must have hit hard.

 Close up view, right after being irrigated.  As you can see he wasn't too upset.  When it first happened he came in the house screaming.  When I wiped it off I couldn't tell if the white piece I could see was tissue stuck to the skin or if it was cut badly enough that he would need stitches. 

He ended up with 2 stitches. The nurses were teasing him about being cool for his girlfriend.  He just smiled and said "yep."  He is quite the ladies man.  He always has a girl that he likes. 

 This is getting the stitches removed. Yeah!!
