Rhys' Head Injury

Poor Rhys, he sustained a nice head injury last weekend. We were shopping at Fry's grocery store and Scott called him, so he came running around an end cap and gouged out a nice chunk of his head. The store had no first aid kit and they ended up hading us a tube of expired Neosporin. Nice. So after fililng out an incident report we took him to Urgent Care, where he had to get about 5 injections of lidocaine into the scalp (this did NOT go well) and then a staple in his head. We should have just gone straight for the staple with no numbing, it would have been less painful! Anyway, we talked to our pediatrician and he said we were lucky, as the cut was right over a major artery. It could have been SOO much worse, so we are praising God that it was relatively minor in comparison! Here's a pic...
