Reminded me of my elder boy having a bad fall shortly after his 1 yo birthday and my ah boy flung out of the tricycle when he was 2 yo.
Could hv lost the 2 of them.
How is your boy doing? Very courageous of him at the hospital.
My ah boy had to be pinned down by 3 or 4 adults when doing the stitches. Was kicking n screaming.
As I was reading your post, I was like," oh no, not now...." perhaps my personal experience was still very fresh in mind (and I was actually crying as I typed my experience). But I think kitty socks is a very level headed mum. U see her subsequent posts - she talked about her purpose of sharing her experience in the forum - to raise awareness.
He healed well but 破相 Liao lor. There is a faint scar in between his eyes. Part of the after surgery follow up was to meet a plastic surgeon (yes, a ranged by kkh) but we all decided our kid didn't require a plastic surgery (the plastic surgeon, hubby and I). I was joking about how he decided that being 二郎神 would be more cool than being 孙悟空。yup, the scar looked a little like a third eye.
it's at times like this (there were other very miraculous incidents) that I really feel a strong connection shared between my son and me. He actually understood, remembered and carried out what I had said - to stay still while the stitching was going on. Even I myself, a grown up, am not sure if I could do it - to be sewn up without anesthesia. All the while, people say he takes after me, looks exactly like me blah blah blah... But through this incident, hubby and I both agreed - this tough little guy has inherited as much of mummy's genes as daddy's genes. The courage and inner strength he has displayed were no doubt my hubby's.
In the ops room, the nurses used some sort of large bandages to restrain my son and that was it. I was just like a vase, standing near by. Amazing, how could someone be sewed and yet kept so still? I wouldn't have believed this was possible and real if not for the fact that I witnessed it myself.
