1st stitches and 3rd ER visit


Oh Elijah. Right as we were getting ready to go to bed last night Elijah leaned off our bed onto my dresser. He slipped and as he went his nose connected with the dresser. There was instant blood and screaming. At first I thought it was just another bloody nose but with closer examination we realized part of his nostril was not connected to his face anymore and his septum was cut. Off he and Sam went to the ER. They gave him nasal Versed, wrapped him up in a sheet, three adults held him down and they gave him three stitches in his nose. He came home at one thirty in the morning wearing sunglasses so high he was hallucinating. He was seeing holes in the wall and bugs were coming out and every once in a while a fish would come by.
This morning he is back to being Elijah. His nose his swollen and ugly looking but I don't think it should scar too badly.
The picture is from the ER after the stitches when he was high as a kite.
