Has your child ever gotten stitches?

When my 9 year old son was 2 years old he put a sheet over his head and was acting like a ghost, then started to spin around in circles. Just as I started walking over to him to take the sheet off of him he fell into the bed which had a metal frame and hit his head, right on his eyebrow. I imediatly saw the blood and put a cloth over it. I tried (and I think succeeded) to remain calm so as not so put any fear in him as he was already in pain. We went to the hospital and when the Dr. gave him the numbing medicine by the time it was numb and the Dr. had begun doing the stitch work he had fallen asleep. The Dr. was happy and said "this is the easiest process I have ever done on a two year old" he stayed asleep through the entire procedure. Thank goodness. It was 1 inch deep and 1 inch wide.

My son hasn't had stictches yet. He has had plenty of injuries though. My son is like me a huge klautz. Its only a matter of time of something big like that happening. I just hope it doesn't. I had stitches at a young age.

My son had to have stiches when he was four. He fell against the wooden rail of his sisters bed and busted open his forehead. It was about a half inch gash too. It is scary. Also when my daughter was nine, she was doing the dishes and a glass broke in the sink and she sliced open her finger. That one really bled. We had to wrap it and hold onto it all the way to the emergency room. I don't remember how many stitches it took. She was glad to get out of having to do the dishes for a while though, lol.

I'm happy to say that both of my kids have never had stitches (knock on wood). But a couple of years ago, I did rush my oldest son to the ER after he had accidentally cut his finder with scissors. I never saw so much blood come out of a finger! But fortunately it didn't require stitches. The doctor did want to put a special glue spray on my son's finger, but after 5 failed attempts the doctor gave up. The nurse bandaged up and put a splint on my son's finger and we went home.

Oh my... that sounds so scary... i don't know what i would do if that happens to my daughter... but for sure i will rush her to the nearest hospital with is only a few meters away from my apartment... i hope i never get into such a situation... since i love my daughter very much... and i don't want any harm to come to her...

Oh yes mu daughter was 7 years old and was spending the night with my sister. well the kids went to bed without picking up all the toys. about 2:00AM my sister calls my hysterical to meet her at hospital nicole had fell off top bunk and gotten hurt. when i got to hospital I learned that when she fell to floor a happy meal toy had stuck right in her forehead .took 5 stitches. My sister was frantic she thought I was gonna be really mad at her.but I told her accidents happen.ever since then she makes sure everything is off floor before kids go to bed.
