On Monday, Tateym & I were in the living room like just about every other day. She was playing on the floor and pulling herself up on anything & everything. All of a sudden I heard an awful cry. She had pulled herself up on the speaker that's to the right of the entertainment center and fallen back down hitting her head on the corner of the speaker. I was only a few feet away! I picked her up to console her and noticed the blood on her head. She hit it by her left eyebrow. I took her into the kitchen to grab a rag to apply pressure to the wound. By the time I got to the kitchen there was already blood dripping down her face and under her chin. I called Justin & he said to go ahead and take her to the ER. I didn't know how bad the laceration was but I knew it was bad enough that it probably needed some other care than a bandaid. Justin was in Caldwell at the time so only about 30 minutes away. I frantically ran around the house gathering my things. Luckily she had a diaper bag already packed and I just threw a few more things in it. I drove her to the ER and she cried and whined the whole way. When we got to the hospital though and walked in the door, my nosy baby soon forgot she was even hurt. She had too many people to look at and smile at! I questioned whether I should even be there, but I would rather be safe than sorry I didn't do something more for her. When the doctors came in to look at her they decided to glue it shut. They said this wouldn't leave as bad of a scar as a stitch would. So they cleaned the area & glued it together. She did not like this part! I basically had to hold her in a headlock. Finally after a $100 ER copay & receiving our discharge papers we were headed back to the house. Everyone reminded us that this was probably not the last time we would be bringing her in. Thank the Lord that this was only minor though! After all of that drama she came home & napped for two hours!
My poor baby!
