A mother's blog: growing with my son!
Sam had a bad fall at the corner of his bed and got a deep cut jut below his left eye brow… I got scared at the sight of blood first, but then I just washed it with water to see how deep it is and if I can apply some antiseptic… but it turned out to be a 1 centimeter cut which would only be stitched. I called my neighbour and rushed to the doc… meanwhile I had applied palm pressure on his wound so that the bleeding stops. And thankfully it did!
At the hospital Sam was smiling at the Dr and he thought that its just minor scratch since the baby is not at all crying! but when they cleaned it up, they found it big enough to be given 3 stitches!!!! Then Dr asked if I would be OK to hold him while they do the stitching but I wasn’t too sure…. because I was on the verge of crying out loud but somehow trying to control since I was alone with him at the hospital and had to manage everything till my husband arrived…
Then i decided to go inside the room and held his arms, another person held his head tightly and one held his feet, while the Dr did his work … those 8 minutes were again one of the toughest moments so far … but he was fine after coming home and started playing all over again …
After all its just a part of growing up … He would be fine soon!

This blog is born out of the need to share what we, as first time parents, are going through in bringing up our 'bundle of joy'. Parenting is the most difficult art that one perfects over a period of time.. So here we are trying to put across our experiences which are gained while practising this art... whatever is written here, doesn't prescribe anything. It's just a log of our daily happenings which we want to share with all of you... nothing official about it!

just getting my little one’s vaccinations and regular checkup done is such a task. Must surely be hard getting stitches done. You’re a brave one! Hope he gets well soon…

Have the stitches come off yet?
