Got a call from Julie telling me Russ had cut his lip pretty bad. She went to sick kids and I met here there.
Cut his lip was sort of an understatement. When I saw Russ, his lower lip on the bottom of his mouth was cut all the way through. The funny thing was he really didn't seem to think anything of it. He's sucking his thumb and playing with toys in the office waiting to see the doctor.
The advantage if going to a big hospital like sick kids is they have specialists for everything. Julie was concerned that Russ would have a permanent scar. They had a plastic surgeon do the stitches. He said the muscle had also torn so to put everything back together was about 20 stitches. The only things that bothered Russ was not eating for 8 hours and getting the IV put in. Aside from that he was fine. The worse part for me was when they sedated him and see his eyes sort of roll and see the little guy pass out. It was heartbreaking.
Thankfully Russ really doesn't complain or fuss with the wound.
