Stockton was the victim of his bigger brother the other day. I was on the phone and I could hear him screaming down stairs- which happens a lot really. So he comes up stairs with blood coming down the side of his face. I hurry and put Brett down and ran him into the bathroom. The cut was so deep! I couldn't tell if he needed stitches or not. So I called my neighbor to come over and tell me what he thinks (Bryan was working) and we both thought he should get looked at by a dr. He offered to watch my older boys and took the younger two to insta-care with my father in law meeting me there to help with the baby. Well it was closed (they changed their hours so I didn't know) and Lige (my Father in law) and I decided to drive him down to Bryan's work to see what he though. To walk in the doors of the ER cost's me 500 bucks- I didn't want to pay that and them tell me "here's a bandaid". Bryan didn't think he needed stitches so I went and got him a frosty and fries and took him home. He really wasn't bleeding after like 5 minutes after it happened so I wasn't worried about that. I am worried about him having a horrible scar from it and I couldn't have made it less noticeable by getting him stitched up. I hope we made the right choice! It honestly made me ill thinking about him being scared for life because I am cheep.

I know this is hard to believe, but Luke fell and cut his eye in that exact spot. I was really worried about it scarring, there is a small scar but it has really faded over the years. I hope Stockton's feeling better!
oh my goodness. so sorry! Carson got a deep cut in the middle of his forehead when he was like 1 yr. old. We didn't get stitches, and he kept taking the tape off...so I thought I was a terrible mother, especially when he picked the scab off, too. Well..ff 4 years, the scar isn't hardly noticeable. And...the scar under MY lip-with stitches, is more noticeable. So...I don't know if stitches are always the best thing. Regardless, he will always be a darling boy!
