Caden got Glued


Literally. He sliced his finger open on a cutco knife.... so off to the doctor we went. He needed stitches... so they glued him rather then having to worry about a needle . THANK GOD. My whole way to the doctor I was freaking out wondering how in the WORLD they would be able to calmly and effectively put a needle through my autistic child's hand. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! So the gluing is the newest thing apparently. They do it minimize the scaring.. which is great. No bandaids, needles, thread, or having to go back to take them out. Caden did amazingly well too.. he never cried, just kept saying "Ouch" to the doctor. My Big brave Caden man!

I guess this is just not our week. Hoping Mike feels better tomorrow since we got tickets to the sabres game (in the suite!) and finally ended up with a babysitter too! Fingers crossed he'll sleep the worst of it off tonight.

YAY for glue. After you told me I sat here thinking, that aint gonna work with stiches. He wouldnt keep the bandaid on, and then he would pick at the stitches and pull them out. YAY for glue
