This week Jacob had his second visit to an urgent care for stitches. He was playing with his friends at the playground at the Chandler Mall and as he was running he "fell on the lady". The lady said he hit the padded seat, but we have a hard time believing it wasn't something else (like a laptop). Shannon asked for first aid and did not receive much help. She was directed to call the Fire Department, who got there just before I arrived. They wrapped his head up and did some tests to make sure he didn't have a concussion.
The Fire Department recommended we take him to the closest urgent care. Lucky for us, it wasn't too busy. When they took the wrap off to look at it, I couldn't believe how deep the cut was (again, from a padded seat?) The doctor wanted to glue it, but after examining the clean wound he recommended stitches. Jacob wasn't a big fan of the needle...
Three stitches and a band-aid later, and he was good to go. So far, no signs of a concussion or TBI.
I have a feeling this is not the last time he will be getting stitches...
