Stitches

Anything can happen in a second. It did to my younger son, Ryan. Just a minute before Ryan and the classes were supposed to go in a Peace Circle that we usually do every single morning at school site, I received a report from a secretary that Ryan had an accident.

He ran, tripped, and landed on the corner of lunch table. It cut Ryan's lower right' eyelid. Good grief, it did not go further into his eye. So, I had to leave my aide working with my students while I was taking Ryan to a nearby Emergency Room.

Ryan was waiting for the doctor to give him the stitches. He was being good sportsmanship.

Before the doctor gave him the stitches, Ryan told the doctor, "I don't want the shot to hurt me. Please don't hurt me. " The Doctor was very calm and explained the procedure before giving him the stitches. He was well-behaved throughout the procedure.

Ryan received two stitches. It is likely he will get a black right eye. The stitches will be taken out on Tuesday.

After he was done, I took him to a nearby Starbuck and got him a small cup of Chai Tea. (He loves it, just like his mother.) Then, we returned to school. Everyone was checking on how he was. He was explaining what happened at school, and what did the doctor did on him. Today he was the center of attention at school.
