So a friend came and drove him to the E.R.
The doctor had to staple his head with no numbing. Ouch!! He said the shots in the top of his head would hurt worse than the actual one staple. He has to go Friday and get it removed. He seemed ok last night, but I haven't talked to him yet today. He's probably sleeping off the pain killers! He told me he MIGHT not make it to his church today, but I guess he had a good excuse!
I hate it when something happens to my kids and I'm not close by.
