Stitches

Mason had his first baseball injury on the day of Reese's birthday (of course). Derek took him along to his summer team baseball practice so I could get things ready for the party. I get a call a couple hours before the party is about to start. He said it was bad and that it would need stitches. Apparently he was shagging balls in the outfield with a boy from Derek's team. A ball was coming towards Mason so the boy tried to block the ball from hitting him and accidentally stepped on Mason's leg with his cleat. I had no idea how sharp those cleats are! It split his leg right open. Derek was able to get the blood to stop and cleaned out the wound and wrapped it good. Mason was totally fine and could walk on it so Derek decided to take him to the ER after Reese's party. He was a very brave little boy and only yelled when they gave him a shot to numb the area so they could stitch it closed. He held very still during that! He received 4 nice stitches and a pretty big scar for life. It is already healed and it never slowed him down one bit!
