Cannon gets stitches

 Now I can’t play Minecraft at my fullest potential 😭😢”

We were at the community center for a fun evening with inflatables music and giveaways and games 

Cannon was playing with Mason after we just gone to the pool exploring all the different activities 

Mason wanted to play some of the interactive games that they had 

And Mason was playing  ski ball and Canon thought it would be fun to go under like where the ski balls fall and then roll back slowly and try to dodge the balls but then Mason didn’t throw a ball for a while (he started talking g to another friend) so Canon poked up his head And Mason had thrown a  bocce ball and it hit him right above his right eye BAM!!

Cannon said “Then I looked down kinda - it kind of hurt then I saw red juice on my leg then I went back out of it and Mason thought I just had a ketchup packet is on your face then tell me about what happened next then he is like oh that’s coming out Blood 🩸 

Then we looked around. I was looking down holding onto Mason, making sure I couldn’t like I’m looking down because the blood was going into my eye, holding onto Mason and walking around then some gramma asked if we needed help - she went ahhh!! and she took us to the people that had a microphone with the music 

They made this announcement “attention. We have a lost hurt child cannon flat, platt. and then he started waving, and then that’s when mom started waving and coming toward the place to get me. 

Of course mom told me not to get hurt before we came to this activity because we were heading to do a sleep study at 7:30. This was really going to slow us down. 

So we walked across the street to the swimming pool and Connor talked to his work friends and Jose Garcia went and got some first aid materials Band-Aid and a patch and some tape so we could stop from moving around so much cause those flaps of skin were really opening up good 

And he stitched my eyelashes with a butterfly Band-Aid it was pretty funny 

We start calling people to ask if they have any derma bond and Steri-Strips at home and then going to the urgent care on Schofield — we walked up at 6:32 and they close at 6:30. There was still another door where people were inside and my mom asked if they would help— “just go to the ER” and they were closing and they sent us to Wahiawa emergency room 

Mom started crying because dad usually takes care of this kind of thing and he was in Japan. Why wouldn’t they just take care of us?

Looks like 2 cm right eye under eyebrow 

Emergency room was the quickest I had ever been to. After getting our information, we were called back within a few minutes. Cannon was able to hang out and we talked about how everything happened.

And then the nurse or PA came in and we got put back in a room where he was able to get some medicine to numb up his eye and they were able to put in six stitches. It was one hour from when we checked in to when we were walking out to the car, a tender mercy for sure.

Luckily, mom was able to get a hold of the sleep center for my sleep study and just let them know. We would be about an hour late for our appointment and that was fine as much as my mom was worried about that as much as I was worried it turned out OK
