Face, meet coffee table

Since the day Keegan started walking, I have maintained that if either of the joys was to ever break a bone or require stitches, it would be him. Him and Ronan are Ronan are such opposites and he is definitly the wild one! (Side note: when I typed definitly, my phone tried to autocorrect to defiantly. Also an accurate description!)

Don't get me wrong, he isn't a bad kid. He's just very busy and moves very fast. We had a close call almost a year ago, when he fell backwards off a stool and split open his head on a doorframe. That time, they were able to close it with glue. This time, not so much 

Yesterday, we went to my nephews birthday party out of town and afterwards, the kids were running around as they tend to do. Keegan took a sharp turn and fell face first into the edge of the coffee table. We managed to stop the bleeding and bandage it up so we could make the drive home. We made the choice to take him to the hospital in our city so we could get Ronan home to bed since it's always such a long wait. 

We arrived at the hospital around 8 and didnt get a bed until 11. Of course, that means you now have to wait longer for the doctor to come see you. Keegan happened to hear someone else get offered a Popsicle so he needed to have one too. Good thing they had his favourite colour!

We waited another 45 minutes or so and as soon as the dr saw him, she new he needed stitches. They attempted to freeze the area with a numbing cream under a bandage but he refused to keep it on. I don't blame him. The thing was huge and interfered with his Popsicle eating!

The decided they would have to give him a needle to freeze it and that's when things got ugly. They had to wrap him up like a burrito to keep him still and he was screaming like I'd never heard him scream before. 

He ended up with 3 stitches and we finally got home around 1am. We go back Friday to get them removed

He's not even 3 and he's already giving me scares like this!
