Grandmother able to immediately help grandchild with magnets for first aid to injury

I consider myself a young grandmother who is totally addicted to my 6 year old grandsons. I take them everywhere with me and seeing that they are in kindergarten I still get away with pulling them out of school to go on all kinds of trips. One day last month I had them on a sleep over because we had gone on an outing that would bring them home too late at night. The next morning I was in the shower and they were allegedly getting dressed for a Star Wars Exhibit at the Museum of Science when I hear this blood curdling scream. Now every Mother and Grandmother in the world knows that scream. This is the” I am really hurt” one that goes all the way to your toenails. I ran nude dripping wet to see my angel with blood gushing out of his head and running in 4 or 5 different streams down his face. How I did this I will never know but I said in the calmest voice I have ever heard come out my mouth….”Tyler, Bubby can take care of this. It is not a problem.”

I had the “Conquering Pain book and some magnets on my nightstand and I pulled his hair tight over the slice in his head and threaded the magnets with his hair pulling it tight to close up the opening. I knew someone from Alaska that said when her kid cut his head she braided his hair and that was his stitches because they lived 5 hours from the closest hospital. Anyway, the blood stopped flowing almost immediately and I took the towel that was meant to cover my body and wiped the blood from his face and told him to sit down. His poor brother was bugged eyed staring at this procedure and looking a little guilty for knocking over the antique lamp that had a silver ornament on the top of the lamp that had acted like a sword when he knocked it over. Well, boys will be boys and certainly this was an accident. I am here to testify that there was NO swelling on his head and there is no scar and Tyler never said he had a headache although you can imagine that I kept a VERY close watch on him all day. I would never be without my magnets.
