Sutures and Changing Lives

Last week, TJ had an accident and had to get three stitches. I was at work and didn't know about any of it until it was all over, but I hear he was very brave. Coker tells me that the doctor warned him that the shot to numb his face would hurt, and that he should count to five. TJ got to three and started to giggle. He went through the whole ordeal without crying or screaming.

Today, I took TJ back to have the stitches removed. He was very calm and still while the nurse took them out. She commented on how good he had been, and the doctor said that some of his staff had decided that it would be OK to have children after all, based on how good TJ was. What a compliment!
