Akachan tripped and landed his mouth on the edge of the wooden sofa at my mum's place. My mum called me after sensing something not right when blood is still oozing after 2 to 3 hours. I went home immediately to check on Akachan and found that the cut on his lips was quit deep and may require stitches. I brought Akachan to KKH A & E, we were attended to almost immediately. As the cut was very deep, the doctor need to stitch up the wound for it to heal properly. Akachan had to be sedated to prevent him from struggling before the doctor could stitch him up. When the op is done, the doctor told us that Akachan's lips was punctured, he had to sew 5stitches on the inside of his lips and another 3 stitches on the outside of his lips. Poor Akachan!
