One little monkey jumping on the bed. He fell off and cut his head. Dadda was a doctor and he said, "Eli why won't you take a nap?"
So, Eli was supposed to be taking a nap, instead he was jumping off of his bed hit his head on a table. He cut his eye pretty good. Here are some pictures.
At dadda's work place. Note the special treatment, we get 3 beds to ourselves.
Here is the cut up close. Eli was screaming so much that we had to sedate him with Ketamine, that is why his eyes look wierd below. This is what a stoned 3 year old looks like. He did not feel (or remember) a thing.
Up close... poor kid.
This is him waiting for the ketamine to wear off. If your kid ever looks like this they are stoned.
I get to fix little kids all the time. I am really glad I had someone else fix this. You can't be a good dad and a good doctor to the same kid. My buddy Drew did a great job and the nurses in the ER all did a great job.
I had to work immediately after they finished. Eli was still pretty stoned but I took him home and Bridget took care of him till he was fully awake. It took like a couple of hours for the medicine to completely wear off...
Ketamine causes nystagmus or twiching of the eyes both side to side and up and down... pretty funny to watch. If you kid needs stitches, it is a great experience.
That's hilarious about him being stoned, but POOR ELI!!!!! Poor little guy.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is so cute of him smiling with his dad. What a nasty cut - I'm so sorry he cut his head and had to have stitches. Poor little man. I hope he doesn't have any lingering miseries (like the stitches making him uncomfortable.)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a icky cut (can you tell I spend most of my day with a one and a half year old). We are already dreading the day we have to go in for stitches. It is bound to happen anytime. Kids are crazy! Glad he had such a great Dad to take care of him.
