Monday's Memory

On Sunday we were hanging out with some friends when Seth came over wimpering and holding his head. I look at him and can see blood in his hair. We go inside and look at it. It is a cut about 2 in. long, but not too deep. We call our friend who is a nurse and have her come look at it. She said that if we go in they will probably just put stitches in if we want them too or we can just try to close it on our own. Well he hadn't had a hair cut for a month so we had to give him a buzz to try and get the butterfly band-aid to stick. That wouldn't stick so Sam used a razor to get the rest of the hair (as you can see the bald spot), but the band-aid still wouldn't stick. I had been wanting to try super glue so finally Sam held the cut together and I super-glued it shut. It worked awesome, wow the amazing wonders of super glue.

This bald spot reminded of Seth's first bald spot. When he was about 1 1/2 I noticed that he had a very round spot of dry scaly skin on the top of his head. It looked very much like the ring worm we used to get as kids from swimming in the canal. So instead of really finding out what it was I assumed that was what it was and started putting anti-fungal cream on it. Well the it wasn't clearing up, but his hair started falling out. I read the back of the tube and realized that you weren't suppose to put it on your head because it makes hair fall out. Oops! Then I actually looked it up and realized it wasn't ring worm at all, but eczema. Wow, poor kid has had to have 2 bald spots, well atleast it grows back!
