This is the day which I’ll never forget. Xiang has his first experience of being stitching up.
I brought Xiang to one of my good friend’s house. It was a happy gathering until Xiang fell down. I was too slow to react and just watching him fell from sofa. I heard a loud sound and knew he hit something.
When I picked him up, I was not able to see his face yet, one of my friend shouted: “OMG! BLOOD!!!”. Xiang was crying furiously “头疼疼!!!”. My brain was blank then. He put his hand over his forehead and I too put mine over his hand. Another friend handed me some tissues, then only I realized both of hands are covered with blood, some dripping into his arms & shirt. I told my friend to send us immediately to clinic.
Xiang was amazingly brave, while we rushed out the door. He has stop crying. I told him that we are going to doctor and he’s going to be alright. He understood and told me that he wanted to go to the doctor.
I am so glad that my friends remained calm. I overheard that they were calling the clinic to confirm the available of the clinic. It was lunch hour and there’s none doctor on call. So we headed to another nearest clinic. It’s at the second floor of a shopping complex.
Once we got down the car, everyone was looking at us. There’s a man who’s so helpful. He opened the door for us and even run to stop the lift for us (the lift’s door was open when we saw it). We headed straight into the clinic though there were lots of patients waiting outside; I guess all doesn’t mind seeing the blood from Xiang’s forehead.
The doctor was superb, speaking softly to Xiang, washed and cleaned his wound. Xiang was brave too when having his stitches – 3 of them. The third one is a bit painful, a little crying from him, then all done.
See, he got the blue-black on Sunday (fell from playground). Then on Monday another scar on his forehead. I hope that his scar will not be permanent.
P/S: He seems not getting his lessons, today he climbed up my window grills, letting go one of his hand to grab the baby powder bottle from my high cabinet. Then second time, he pulled his kiddy table to take down the big swimming pool from the store room. Haiz ….
