Poor mom! My daughter got 3 stitches last summer after falling at crafts camp (!), and I was the one who needed a sedative. Let's hope baby snuggles and chocolate do the trick.

I'm so sorry! There's nothing worse than seeing your child hurt or sick -- nothing! Take care of yourself today. The Hershey's Kisses are an excellent idea. Maybe a trip to the yarn store?!

Make sure B. knows that chicks dig scars! (Hope everybody's feeling better...)

Best wishes to B. for a speedy recovery! And to echo Shannon, chicks dig scars! I'm sure it will serve him well in the future... :)

If the injury is anything like my daughter's knee injury it's not the stitches its the shots before hand to numb the area that are tramatic.
My sympathies to your son and to you. I'm glad it wasn't an injury that is more serious.

oh my sweets...so, now that the initial "trauma" has passed, can i admit that somewhere in the recesses of my mind, i am pleased that i will finally (more easily) be able to tell the boys apart :)

Poor thing! Hope you are both feeling better today. x

Ahhh, poor baby. I hope everyone is feeling better soon.....

Poor B! I hope his stitches feel better soon and don't itch too much!

Sending healing thoughts to B's head wound. (I work with high school students and often tell them that they are only excused from mandatory events if they are bleeding from the head. B would be excused.)

Be gentle with yourself. These trips always seem to be tougher on the mom.

poor baby tell B I hope he is feeling better real soon. as a mom I am sure you are taking it alot worse then he is

ah, hope you get to rest and feel better. it's no fun when anyone gets hurt.

Something like this is always harder on Mom than on the Kiddo! Poor little B with a boo-boo. Hope he heals quickly.

Poor you & B too! For B though he gets the bragging rights. You need time to pass, so you can get it off of your mind. Hope B heals quickly.

Owie! They all seem to get at least a bump or two, but it doesn't make it any easier to get through.

Oh no! Hope he's feeling better. At least he's got a cool scar to tell stories about!

Oh, poor guy! And I agree with an earlier comment - scars can be a total babe magnet... hope you're all recovered!

it will take you longer to recover than him. but, poor, poor, boy.

I went tumbling over the handlebars of my bike when I was about nine (riding downhill at full speed with a friend on board)- big cut on my forehead, very teeny tiny scar. if you are looking for it, you can find it. you just don't form much of a scar when you're that young.

so happy that you had the candy on hand. that helps. :)

Goodness!!!! Glad he's ok!

Owwwie! Good to know he wasn't hurt too bad. Does it look like a lightning bolt? ;)

Oh, Poor B and Poor Mom! That is very traumatic! But one of many a story to come! :)
He's so brave!
I hope to see you this weekend!
xo

oh, sweetie...
prayers and Blessings for swift healing
and funny storytelling.
xoxoxo

It always seems worse than it is.

When talking on the phone with the nurse to see if my son had a concussion, I was going to hand it over to him. He said he was too busy eating! Then when he did get on the phone and after much verbosity (his), she said he was okay.

What would Plato have said about this?

oh, ouch~! All the best for a speedy recovery! From a long long time reader and mostwhile lurker

Oi!
Sending you BOTH healing vibes.

if it's any help, they do survive (as do you.)

as the mother of TWO danger babies, i got to know the emergency room people very well. they do grow up.

I prefer the knit kind of stich, ooohh, big hug?

Oh ouch! I'm glad he's ok.

Being a mom is rough! I cried more then my little one, when he got his first vaccinations. B is going to look like one tough dude with a scar! Did he make the comment 'Mom, now you will be able to tell us apart!' (Harry Potter reference)

I was going to make a Harry Potter reference too, Deana! You beat me to it!

You are a brave boy, B! Give Mommy some love-- she sure needs it!

Ouch! Sending healing vibes to you both, although things do seem well in hand. Those 3 stitches wouldn't form a lightning bolt pattern, would they?

ooooh poory boy! Not fun for you either I know I have been to the ER 2x in the last 6 weeks!! WOO HOO!!!
