So we were helping some friends move last Friday...and Clara cut her foot on something. We got home late cleaned it, put a band-aid on and put her to bed...That was that right, no worries. Well the next morning she took off her band-aid and it still was bleeding pretty good. So after talking about it, Tom and I decided that we should take her to Quick-Care to see what they thought....(Tom I'm sure was just going along with my paranoid thoughts) Anyway... long story short...she ended up getting 4 stitches. Here is the thumbprint bruise (which I knew would come) from the doctor holding her foot in a "death grip" as he stitched her foot.
And here are the 4 stitches
fuzzy picture..but you get the idea
Brave girl she was....but after they put the numbing shot in...she screamed (and if you've been around Clara you know how shrill and loudly she screams even when she's happy)and she yelled stop..but I knew she wasn't hurting...she was just very MAD that we all were holding her down!!! Once he got done-she instantly stopped crying and we got her shoes on...she got her stickers and told everyone "BYE BYE" as she waved.She's the first kiddo in the family to have stitches....well Derrick had that glue stuff put on his head...but looking back, compared to Clara's owie...his episode was more likely me just being really paranoid ;) Anyway...I still think we are blessed in the major owie department...considering how active, and into things my kiddos are ;) We get the stitches out this week! Yea!!
Ouch!!
