Do We Ever Get a Break!?!

Paige ran into the house this afternoon to get to the potty too quickly and hit her head on a shelf in our entry way. I cleaned it up good, saw that it was pretty deep, but thought I could get away with steri-strips... this is what it looked like after about 45 minutes STILL bleeding THROUGH the steri-strips:

So off we went to Urgent Care here in Winston. They were FABULOUS! Took her straight back (I think a 6 year old with a bloody head wound scared them). The doctor came in and had me nervous we were heading to the E.R. - as she started looking at it she said that they couldn't sedate her for stitches there, only numb her and because she was so upset they'd prefer we go there.

After getting it all cleaned up, they were able to GLUE it!! So cool! It really is like super glue and she should have less of a scar. She was NOT thrilled about the whole process though. Big sister Kayleigh tried to keep her smiling...


Some betadyne, a little bit of superglue, one big bandage and she was all set to go in less than 45 minutes! She's already back outside playing!
