Glad he made it through and I would have done the same... no GA here unless absolutely necessary!

With his stress level/age that would require GA/sedation, which I am not comfortable doing unless absolutely necessary. <BR/><BR/>SOOO they checked his eye and face and said there was not any eye/nerve damage - just the cut. A plastic surgeon had checked it out - and she said that while stitches would make the scar a little *smaller*, he was going to have a scar no matter what and that the cut was not so big/deep that avoiding sutures would cause problems. SO long story longer we decided to skip the stitches and they did a glue/tape combo on it instead after they irrigated it and put some glop on it. :)<BR/><BR/>I have a scar in the exact same place too - from a barrel incident when I was 3 or 4 years old.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063730445661683331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-89786998456795023142007-09-03T20:10:00.000-05:002007-09-03T20:10:00.000-05:00Ouch!What happened?Are there stitches under that b...Ouch!<BR/><BR/>What happened?<BR/>Are there stitches under that butterfly, or were they able to just bandage it?<BR/><BR/>I remember once when N. was little and he came in with his hand over his eye and blood pouring out. I was almost afraid to look! Fortunately, he had a cut a little higher than on your boy. No stitches, just a butterfly bandage and then he got a lollipop from the nurse for being "so brave!"<BR/><BR/>Glad your little guy weathered this one alright!Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.com
