Katelyn Goes to the ER

On Monday evening (December 22) I was making dinner when Katelyn headed into the living room for some reason unknown to me. A few seconds later, I heard a loud crash and then silence, so I figured she was fine since there was no crying. I then asked what had happened and received no response. So, I headed in to investigate when she came toward the kitchen holding her head and crying. She said something fell on her and I noticed blood on her hair. I had her sit down so I could determine how bad it really was. And when she heard there was blood, the tears really started and she was getting panicky. I got the bleeding stopped mostly and saw that she had a cut about 1 inch long just back from her hairline above her forehead. Then I discovered another puncture on the side of her head that was also bleeding. I called David, who was on his way home from work, and we decided that I would wait until he got there to head to the ER. Long story short, we went to the ER and they were able to glue the cut back together. She was very relieved she didn't have to have stitches.

I had to laugh at her in the car on the way to the ER, she asked me what they have to do if you lose all of your blood. She was worried that she was going to lose all of her blood because the cut was bleeding so much!!! She was very brave at the ER and didn't even cry when they were washing it and gluing it. My only complaint was that they were soooooooo slow. We got there at 6:40 pm and didn't leave until 9:10pm. And now we are waiting to wash her hair because you can't get the cut wet for about 4 days. Below is a couple of pics of the damage.
