So last night, difficult child was jumping up the stairs (like a bunny rabbit -so says he) and landing on each one with his knees. He came down just right and managed to put a 1-2 inch gash in his knee with one of the nails that holds the carpet in place. Thankfully, his shots were up to date, and they managed to use some sort of super glue to put it back together.
Here's the question of the day. doctor said no running, jumping, climbing, or soccer for 10 days. I looked at him like he was crazy. How the ^&*% do you keep an ADHD, ODD four year old from running, climbing and jumping? I'll have to contact soccer and let them know he won't be there this week for practice. And I'm taking the note into school so they know.
Basically this kid can sit and he can walk. If he rips it back open, he will definitely end up with stitches (which they were trying to avoid with the glue method first).
My bet is that we'll end up with stitches by the end of the week. Any suggestions appreciated. I know I can get him on the computer which will help to keep him sitting down, or I could have him play a few games on the phone. Problem is, in order to wear him out, I usually let him run off the energy throughout the day. Not too mention that we didn't get home until almost midnight so we're going to add tiredness ontop of today's episodes. Going to be a long 10 days...
