Here's a little photo journal of Thomas's stitches adventure on Thursday. Most of the pictures were taken by Thomas.
This is the stool he fell onto and split his lip while he was supposed to be taking a nap
This is the sticky alligator the nurse gave him at urgent care to make him feel better when she told us we had to go to the ER because they have to put him out to give him stitches on his lip
This is Thomas REALLY bored and hyper (remember, no nap) waiting for the doctor to see him at the ER
This is one of the nurses that Thomas took pictures of after he got bored with coloring and ripping apart his sticky alligator.
This is the doctor that took forever on the phone while Thomas, the "child drugging staff" and I waited not so patiently
This is the nurse that taught Thomas how to turn the camera around and take pictures of himself
This is one of about 30 pictures that Thomas took of himself
This is the doctor who is finally ready and trying to distract Thomas while they give him the nasty shot in his leg to put him to sleep
This was the last picture he took before he went to sleep (well, sort of went to sleep, it was totally creepy because he never closed his eyes, eek)
This is Thomas when he woke up and demanded the camera back. He was rewarded with a popsicle instead
This is a close up on the nasty thing (his lip, not the popsicle)
And this is the children's Motrin that Thomas took a picture of when he stole the camera back after we got home ... 5 hours after we left for Urgent Care!
This is Jill the next morning when Thomas woke her up by taking pictures of her.
We thought after his long day he would sleep in but we were wrong
The End

PS Jill, we miss you
WOW! what a story! Was he even scared? He seemed entertained with the camera...was that the plan. Hopefully the memory on the camera isn't used up in one day of Thomas fun when he gets a hold of it...by accident! How funny.
I hope everything heals well.
He cried all the way to the urgent care but then was in a state of shock and silence for about an hour, until we got into the room at the ER. After that he was a typical 3 yr old without a nap, wanting to check out all the equipment, trying to wipe his bloody lips on me when he realized I didn't want him to. He was so hyper and kept laughing and making his lip bleed more, gross. The camera was totally to keep him busy, I just happened to have it in my purse. He gets his stitches out tomorrow and it's already looking better.
Hope this is not a premonition of things to come.
