[quote=Anonymous]When DD was 2yo she had 6 stitches to her forehead at CNMC. It was as OP described--papoose board, screaming, the whole nine yards. They had to irrigate the wound pretty thoroughly, so that was also weird and gross as they kept sticking this long syringe into the gash and squirting water. Tons of water and blood and tears and snot and DD thrashing around. I hate blood and such, but sometimes you just do what you have to do. I looked DD in the eyes (which meant I had an up close view of everything they were doing), and talked and sung to her the whole time. She was fine immediately afterwards. Conversely, my 6yo nephew had stiches in roughly the same place. He calmly sat and played on an Ipad the whole time.[/quote]
