Alex is so full of energy and loves to run, alot. Maybe someday he'll be a track star. Unfortunately, today, his favorite past time took him straight to the ER. Running on the wood floor, Alex slipped and his forehead met the sharp corner of the banister. The bleeding stopped pretty quickly with pressure, but we realized it was more than just a scratch so off we went. The cut looked pretty deep but the doctor was able to close it with Dermabond--a glue that holds the skin together. They say the scarring will be visible but minimal. No stitches. They covered the wound with steri-strips and a bandaid. In a few days it should improve and the steri-strips should fall off.
Alex was AWESOME at the hospital. He just wanted snacks and to play with the "inflated" rubber gloves with Brad. His biggest complaints were in regards to 1)the ID bracelet they made him wear and 2)the bandaid he has to wear everyday just over his eyebrow. He was such a champ while they cleaned him up and glued him back together again.

That's great he was so well-behaved! Thank goodness you didn't have to hold him down. Amazing how inflated rubber gloves can be so entertaining. Brad probably loved that just as much as Alex did! :)
Aw man, poor Alex. Glad he's okay!
Oh, poor little Alex and mom and dad having to go to the ER. My friend Jill's little boy had a forehead gash about a year ago, was treated with the glue, and you cannot see the scar at all now. I'm glad he was a trooper. Take care.
That band-aid makes him look pretty tough. Scar stories make the best stories. Glad to hear he wasn't hurt too badly and made it through like a trooper.
