Possum's 1st Stitches

Possum decided he would jump out of the bathtub to avoid getting more soap bubbles on his feet. He hit the floor with his chin and we ended up in the ER for stitches.
Because as everyone who lives around here knows, our ER at night is a circus! To keep ourselves occupied we took pictures with Nana's phone!

This little stuffed possum has been everywhere Possum has been since he was born. It has been through ear tubes, sleep studies, tonsils, adenoids, and tube removal surgery, a stay in the hospital, and many other fun, exciting times....now we can add stitches to both Possum's adventure lists!

This is after the 4 stitches! Possum DID NOT like being held down for the doctor to sew him up. He accused us of trying to choke him, break his legs, and many other things. He informed us (in a not so quiet voice) that he wanted to get up and he meant right then! After the doctor finally managed to get the stitches in, he was cleaning the mess up and Possum let him know that he did not like the fact that he get his pajama top wet!

He fell asleep on the way home and besides hurting a little this morning he is doing fine. Thank goodness Nana was here to help since I DO NOT like gaping holes and blood and thank goodness Daddy will be home from his trip when the stitches have to come out!
