Around 9:00 am this morning Mason was running around the house, tripped, and bumped his head. He ended up with a nice little gash on the back of his head top left. My Mom and I took him to the doctors office. On the way there he slept and I tried to wake him up. We got concerned that he might have a concousion since he wouldn’t wake up much. When we got into a room at the doctors office he promptly woke up and talked about the ball he saw in a picture on the wall. The nurse came in and cleaned his wound. Mason didn’t even seem bothered by the cleaning. Then he played in the room while we waited for the doctor. The doctor came in and said that he would need staples and suggested that he get a litacain shot first to numb the area for the staples. The doctor gave Mason a lollipop. A nurse held his head still. While Mason sucked and chewed on his lollipop the doctor gave him the shot of litacain. Mason didn’t cry, he paused for a moment and then went back to eating his lollipop. Then the doctor started stapling Mason’s wound. Again, Mason didn’t cry and didn’t even wince! He just worked on his lollipop. Two of the staples didn’t go in all the way so the doctor had to pull them out. Still Mason didn’t wince or cry. The staff was amazed. They said this was not normal, that Mason was an atypical child in a good way. When Mason had to put the toys back that he was playing with, well that is when he cried. He wanted to stay there and play.
