Scariest feeling ever!

My little boy had his first big visit to the doctor yesterday. He had to get stitches in his lip. We were at his cousin's birthday party and I had just got done changing his diaper. This usually does get him excited after a diaper change. He loves to be free again instead of having to sit still. Well he started happily running around and that is when it happened. He tripped and hit his face or lip right on a wooden rocker at Grandma and Grandpa's. It immediately started gushing blood. I scooped him up and started trying to clean it up so I could see what was going on. It just kept bleeding and bleeding! I called down stairs to my husband and he ran up in no time at all. Along came the rest of his family and we were all tending to Lukas. Grandma Kathy got a rag wet and we put it on his lip to try to clean it up. She gave us a look and said we would need to take him in. The cut was deep. So they helped us get ready and away we went. Lukas was so scared (I think more scared from us though.) We got him in to Urgent Care and they tried to do vitals...yeah right...that wasn't going to happen! Lukas wouldn't let them near him. So they got what they could and put us in a room so a doctor could come help us. A nurse came in and gave us some gauze with some numbing stuff on it to put on the cut. This was a numbing agent they use to make the area numb for the actual shots they were going to give him and for the stitches. I had to leave the room when they did the shots and stitching up. I couldn't handle it. I just sat and cried in the hallway. Once he stopped crying I was able to at least watch from the window. He did great! They got him all stitched up and he hasn't had any problems with it yet. The stitches are supposed to dissolve in 5-7 days. What a scary feeling! I can't even imagine how parents feel when their children actually get really badly hurt! I do know though...with the way Lukas runs around and dare devils all over this will probably not be the end of our visits to the doctor for this kind of stuff. I pray that he will be more cautious. Time will tell!
