Stitches

These pictures show a big open cash and blood so if you don't like to see things like that then I suggest you stop reading now.

Rewinding to back to Jan 10 approximately 6:25b pm. We had just finished eating dinner. Allie was dancing and spinning around in the kitchen when she slipped and hit her head on the corner of a chair. Poor little thing was screaming bloody murder. I thought maybe she just had a bloody nose but was surprised when I saw the puddle of blood on the floor and a huge gash just through her eyebrow.

And yes, I am that mom that takes pictures of my kids injuries. But in my defense, Tyler was getting the other kids in the car and I was holding pressure on Allies wound. I just took the gauze off for a second to snap this picture.

 Amazingly enough this is our first trip to an Instacare.

Getting ready for the stitches

 This is where she absolutely freaked out. Poor thing was not going to get stitched up without putting up a fight. We tried giving her a sucker, taking a break for a minute, nothing was working so I had to hold her arms and lay across her chest while someone else held her head and the doctor stitched as fast as she possibly could.

 Thankfully she survived!

 Finally enjoying the sucker we gave her earlier and looking pretty tough with her pressure dressing.

Of course we had to get a Slurpee after such a traumatic experience.

Allie back to her good ole self the next day.

Proud of her black eye.

 I love this smile!!

Today I took out her stitches.

She was a little nervous about it but after a hug and reassuring her that it wasn't going to hurt she let me take them out.

Taking out the last one.

Happy little thing!! So glad we survived that whole ordeal. What a little trooper.
