Ouchy!

So the evening started fantastic! The boys had made me a bday cake and then I headed out for my bday outing with the girls! About 30 minutes into the "party"...I get a call from Bob saying I needed to come home now, that Camden had fallen off his cozy coupe car and hit his head on our rock fireplace...so I left my party, arrived home, and we loaded up everybody and went to the ER.

Camden was completely happy and acting normal and kept saying: "I'm ok mommy"...well the doctor took a look and said it needed a staple...just one. :-) They said there was no need to numb him as it was just one staple and would be done in just a second...and he wasn't kidding. It was SUPER FAST! He only cried for a second and then the doctor said to him: "I'll tell Santa you were a really big boy!" to which Camden replied, with a quivering chin: "ooookaaay"....it was really sweet and then we headed back home. I dropped off the boys and headed back to my party!

It was an eventful evening for sure! Camden slept wonderfully and even woke up in an AWESOME mood! He's such a big boy! Anyway, now he has a "story" to tell the grandkids! LOL!
So here is the pic of his head before the staple was put in:

Poor baby!! .. Glad he did well..I am shocked that you got in and out of the ER fast enough to get back to your party!! Hope you had a great Birthday!!

No concussion? Great. He is a tough guy.

It should be about done now and the staple can come out?? How do they do that. It is a conundrum for me to figure it out - a giant staple remover?

Mel, We have a SMALL hospital and it was a SLOW night! In and out in 45 minutes flat! :-) No concussion...minimal tears AFTER the initial hit...
Staple came out today. Amanda actually took it out with a handy dandy "staple remover"...it kind of "crimps" it in the middle and just popped out without even a flinch from Cammer! He is AWESOME! :-)
