What's with all the head injuries!!???

First little Livia, next Tim and now Brady. What is going on!? So I get a call from the school today saying Brady has fallen at recess and cut his head. I rush right over to the school to find him very upset and I think a little scared. The nurse had his head all bandaged up so I couldn't really tell how bad it was. I just hugged him and told him it would be ok. The nurse looked at me and mouthed "he needs stitches". The teacher said he was running and slipped on a patch of ice and hit his head on the edge of a stair. We rushed right out and went to the hospital. Brady is my tough little guy so if he says it hurts bad..it must. I think when we got to the hospital he was nervous and when they took us back he started to cry. I think it all got overwhelming for him...poor little guy. The nurse put some gel on it to numb it a little before they really numb it...umm, I am pretty sure the gel did nothing by the way he was screaming when they numbed it. I have never heard Brady cry like that before, it just broke my heart and of course I tried as hard as I could not to cry but that didn't last long. Brady and I were both wishing Shane was there. After all was numb Brady was ready to just leave. He tried to get off the bed but I had to tell him they need to do the stitches now. "Is it going to hurt?" he asked tearfully. I told him no and then he relaxed a little. The doctor came over and was so great the whole time he stitched him up...asking Brady questions and keeping his mind off of it. Brady was so brave and didn't move at all when he did the stitches. When all was done (9 stitches later- 2 internal and 7 external) he was excited to see in the mirror and can't wait to show his friends. After, we went to Grandma Pam's for some hugs and kisses (we both needed) and then it was home to rest. This is the first time I have ever been through stitches and I hope the last!! Please be careful on the ice all!
