12 July 2013 - Poor Javier with forehead laceration = 5 stitches

Tonight while we were watching TV, we suddenly heard a loud "bang" coming from outside of our room.  It was followed by Javier's cry and my helper's scream!  We quickly ran out to see what happened and OMG, Javier's face was covered with blood!!!  Everybody was too panic to figure out what to do next.  I quickly carried Javier to the sofa and let him lie down while I try to clean up the blood to see where's the wound.  It was on his forehead.  I then use a sterile gauze and pressed it softly on the wound to stop the bleeding.  We decided to bring Javier to KK hospital A&E for further treatment.  As we were leaving our house, Javier suddenly said he wanted to change clothes because there were blood stains on it.  As we wanted to hurry to the hospital, we told him don't need but he INSISTED!  Sigh.....is this called "Ai Sui Mai Mia" (爱美不要命)?  In the picture below, you can still see some blood stains on Javier's face.

The triage area was packed with people but after registration, we got to see the doctor almost immediately.  Once the doctor saw the wound, he said that it definitely requires stitching.  We followed the nurse to another room where she applied a so called "Magic Cream" on Javier's wound.  The cream is cold but it will cause the area around the wound to get numbed in half an hour's time.  Before the stitching started, the doctor actually asked us whether we were afraid of blood.  I went in with Javier to the operation room because Tracy definitely cannot make it.  She has phobia with blood.  The doctor said that he had encountered some parents who actually fainted after seeing the blood.......  The cream was really effective and Javier did not cry throughout the entire stitching procedures.  In the end, he even received a Bravery Award certificate.

By the time we reached home, it was about 1am.
