Tonight at soccer practice, Tim bent down to head the ball at the same time a defender was attempting to clear the ball.......and the collision between head and cleat resulted in an evening in the ER for mom and Tim. Typical for head wounds, it bled a lot and Tim grabbed his white game jersey from his backpack to apply pressure. The cut is small in length, but deep, and is a few inches above his right ear. As far as ER visits go, it wasn't bad...2 hours and 2 staples, and they didn't even have to cut his hair, for which he's very thankful. He'd like to keep the jersey as-is, but I'll be googling "how to get blood out of white shirts."
an Tim is smiling! I am sure it was a bit stressful. Glad to hear it was not too serious. Eric was our kid for most bleeding head wounds.
ReplyDeletei would try bleach, or oxiclean. I swear by oxiclean!
