One quiet evening in the Porterhouse Chet and I were remarking how well Owen and Lily were playing downstairs. JINX!!! Not a minute passed by a there was a sickening thud. One that made this mother move faster than ever known possible. I was able to make it to her fast enough that all the blood ended up on me not her.
We took her to Community Care thinking that there wouldn't be a wait and we'd be able to get out relatively fast. 45 minutes later and a photo op later we were told they had nothing to numb her and we'd just have to hold her down and do the stitches that way. We immediately left and went to the empty ER and were taken care of with numbing cream and all. Lily was the model patient, her only request was ice cream, which the nurse delivered once her bandaid was on.
You wouldn't think with that big smile she had a gash in her head at all. It never bothered her to have it. She even let me take to stitches out without a fuss.
She is now bandaid free but she does have to wear a hat and sunscreen all summer to reduce chances of a scar.
*While adding these pictures Lily stated, 'My head's not dripping now.'
