Stitches...again!

I was running errands yesterday and was at the bank. I told the kids to sit quietly in the lobby so I could take care of a few things. I was a few feet away from them, they were being pretty good, sitting on big soft chairs and playing with a toy they brought in. I was focused on the transaction taking place and then I hear Max crying. I run over to see him on the floor and blood dripping out of his mouth. I also thought he had a bloody nose with the amount of blood dripping from his face. Then I see it's coming from his eye/eyebrow. I frantically grab tissues out of my purse to stop the bleeding. Everything was in slow motion. He wouldn't sit still and people were just staring at me. Then I think someone noticed the blood and ran to get a first aid kit. In the meantime, I'm covered in Max's blood and he's wiping it all over his hands and face. I don't know how they got the bandage on, but it finally stopped bleeding. I took him to the Instacare where they had to give him stitches. Poor kid. They strapped him in this velcro thing so he couldn't move, but it still took 5 nurses and Dr.'s to stitch him up. And this just a few days before family pictures... Poor Max. He had to have some anesthesia on his eye to numb it and I told him he looked cool, like Rambo. He kept saying, "Do I look cool mommy?" I took a picture with my phone, so I don't know how good the quality is. This kid is trouble. Stitches twice in less than a year. (As soon as I figure out the camera phone, I'll post a picture.)
