Three year old Seth is sad because he is not allowed to run around today, but he wants to.
He has a head injury.
He and his big brother have a game they like to play. They go out on the big porch with the dog and run up and down and all around as fast as they can.
It was an accident waiting to happen and yesterday it happened. While Seth was running full speed with the dog, he fell and hit his forehead on the porch railings.
His forehead split open, an inch long gash that showed forehead guts and bled all over.
Rich and sister helper Grace took him to the ER right away, as Seth was sleepy and subdued which worried us more than the cut.
When the doctor held up one finger, Seth said there were two.
He had a catscan to check his brain.
Thankfully, his brain was fine.
He had his cut stitched up, with five nice stitches.
They put a real big bandaid on him.
Then, he had a red popcycle.
“They fixed me.” he said.
Good to be Home 
Oh my… glad to know his noggin survived!
Oh gosh. That happened to my son Gabe on his seventh birthday. He had 8 stitches on his 7th bday. Not a fun day. :(Seth looks happy though- that’s great!~!
awww….poor baby!
oh my goodness!! poor little man. praying he feels better and all heals quickly. i bet you were scared!
Oh my! Glad all his forehead guts are back inside his forehead! He looks so cute!
So glad he is okay.
While I’m reading about his injury all I can think about is how adorable he is! Head injuries are so scary, especially when it seems like it’s more than just broken skin. I hope the beginning of you week is much less exciting than your weekend 🙂
Oh my that brings back memories! Remember when this happened to Austin and the neighbor boy? Poor little sethie:( cool hairdo though:)
ouch! poor little guy!!
Ouch! So glad Seth is OK. Really amazing with all the play that they do as well as they do! Happy to see his winning smile back again,and that Rich was home!David is the one of our boys that had several concussions. He was a very energetic little guy.
so glad to see his happy little grin. i always think God must give kids rubber insides.. they seem to bounce back so quickly! and tell him i think his hair looks super cool spiked up that way!! :))
He is too cute for words! Ouch! Head injuries bleed so bad, too 😦 I’m sure it frightened everybody. Glad he’s alright, and it wasn’t too serious.
cute little grin ~
hi shanda…….oh no! so glad though that the scan results were okay and he was well taken care of. i know how scary that can be. when my little guy was 2, he was jumping on his bed, fell, and gashed his forhead on the headboard, resulting in 2 stitches. it’s amazing how much blood can pour out of that little head, isn’t it? he also got a big band-aid and popsicle!! to this day, the scar on his forhead reminds me that boys will be boys, and i need to sometimes let go and remember that God is in control and always there taking care of him.
I’m waiting for a similar injury to happen to my 18-month-old boy. Do you think I’ll ever stop freaking out…lol?
POOR Seth!!! Much worse than cactus needles. ;)That is a big bandage. Tell him my kids will pray for his head tonight before bed. =)Happy Monday.
I forgot to mention how adorable he looks.
Ouch so happy to see his smiling face though.I will pray for quick healing. Blessings, Christie
Poor guy. I hope it doesn’t scar.
aw,poor little guy !Glad he’s OK ! My litte bro is 5 and he’s been to the ER ,like,6-7 times for running on stairs,trying to bounce a rock off his head (he watched soccer on tv prior to this)….it must be an age thing
poor kiddo. glad he’s all ‘fixed’ up now!
Poor Seth! Poor Shanda! I’m glad he’s on the mend and hope that he has learned his lesson. (doubt it, kids never do seem to)
so glad he is okay…
