I am shocked it took us this long to wind up with stitches on one of the babies, but Jacob and I found ourselves at the urgent care clinic on Friday afternoon. I will spare everyone photos of the injury, but Jacob was playing on the floor with Rosie when she nipped him on the forehead. It was completely innocent puppy play, but Jacob was left with a huge gash and a lot of tears.
Luckily Children's Healthcare of Atlanta just opened up an urgent care facility about a mile from our house, so Jacob was in good hands.
We were checked out very quickly to assess the damage, and Jacob was perfectly content waiting for the numbing gel to kick in with a ninja headband and "spicy chips."
The doctor decided that Jacob did need stitches, and we opted for a mild sedative to help with the discomfort.
The process was quick, and Jacob was telling the doctor that "he just loves her so much" as she was stitching him up. He need four stitches to close the wound. We were so proud of our tough boy.
I hope we do not return to urgent care for a long time, but with Jacob's antics, nothing would surprise me. :)
