Poor Cayden was playing outside last night after dinner, we had some family friends over, and their 9 year old found a bat in the backyard and decided he wanted to swing it, right into Cayden's head! When I saw Chuck bring him in with blood all over his head I about passed out. Head wounds always bleed worse than they are, but this was BAD! We could see his skull his wound was so wide and deep. Poor guy was so brave, once we got to the hospital he calmed down and didn't cry at all while he got his shot and stitches. 15 stitches later he looks pretty good! On the way home last night we said a prayer of gratitude that he was protected, it would have been so much worse if it had hit his eye or nose. We are grateful he is ok.
Waiting to get in to the ER
You can see the skull underneath
Brave during the shots, he had to get about 6 shots all around the wound, poor kid!
Cleaned, numb and waiting for our stitches.
The doctor did a great job and was very thorough and careful.
All stitched up, it looks like the stitching on a baseball! I hope it heals well!
