Ds had on a pumpkin necklace and slipped off of the side of there couch and landed on the pointy of the necklace....well it resulted in a ton of blood and a small cut. We put pressure on it and it did stop. He is acting fine and I don't think it phases him. Question is every so often it seems to start bleeding again. Not dripping tho. It just seems to be dryed up blood and then I see fresh. DH says it needs air and time. I have never had this happen to DS and I know when I get a cut that is true. Can anyone help calm my nerves? DH says it is too small for stitches and they would just glue it if it was even that big to them. DS is in bed and I am kinda worried. Anyone have experience in kiddos like this before. Any calmness would be awesome!

Cut. I'm sure that he's ok. And DS is right. They typically glue anything that is too small to stitch. I guess the way that I would judge it is if he keeps breaking it back open, I would take him in, just to see what they say. But in the mean time I would just keep a butterfly bandage on it, so the cut is tight together. That way it will heal quickly and healthy. Hang in there.

I went through my first little gash not too long ago. DD2 cut a deep small cut on her fore head (pinky nail sized) I freaked out from all the blood! DH said she would probably get a butterfly band aid put on and we'd be sent on our way. If it doesn't look like its scabbing over by tomorrow then I say call the doc.

just try to keep it covered up tonight and if you have concerns tomorrow then call your Dr. The small cuts sometimes bleed the most.

I told DH if tomorrow it is still breaking open I will take him to his Ped or call the Nurse line. I think he should be okay while he sleeps. :/

It hasn't cut open since last night! All activities resume per his request! So I think we are good. It is still dried blood and looks worse then it is. He does keep telling people he got an owie so it may still hurt. I plan to wash it tonight to get the dried blood off but want to wait until it is less tender. Thanks guys!

Well, we are going in tomorrow for a possible scan of DS head. The bump is back and it hurts him. At first it didnt so this concerns me VERY much. I'm a nervous wreck and very worried about him. I'm praying that it is okay and jump a swollen bump. Please pray also.

Oh dear, praying away like crazy! I am sure all is fine, perhaps it's just a little scar tissue built up.

VERY HAPPY to report all is well and he looks amazing. Everything came back perfect!!! I was very relieved and a huge weight is pulled off of me. The orginal cut is healing the way it should and it shows no signs of internal damage. He is also 95% still in height and his PED has no concerns. YIPEE. Thanks for the prayers and thoughts!
