I got a phone call at work today at about 2:30pm from Dacia's school. Dacia got hurt on the playground (again, remember she just had a huge goose eggs 2 weeks ago) and they told me she fell and hit her head on the cement and had a cut on her forehead and that she would probably need stitches. I left work in a hurry to get to my little girl. I had calmed myself down and talked to Erik on the phone and we were thinking that the school might have exaggerated a bit over the phone and that it wasn't really that bad.
I got to the school and ran in to find my little girls clothes bloody and her hair matted with blood. The lady that was sitting with her lifted up the gauze for me and I gasped and tried not to react to much because I didn't want to upset Dacia. It was huge!
I talked to Dacia about maybe needing stitches or they would have to glue it back together so it could heal. She was insistent on glue and she didn't want stitches. We went over to the clinic and I was glad that they could take her and that we didn't have to go to the ER. The Dr took one look and said no way would glue work on her cut. They cleaned it up and then numbed it up a bit. Dacia got stickers and some juice while we were waiting and she was laying there so good waiting for everything.
When the Dr came in to finally do the stitches I told her that Dacia didn't know yet and so I broke the news to her. They gave her some shots in her forehead to numb it up a bit more. They cleaned it up more and she got started with the stitches. Dacia came away with 11 stitches. It was so deep they had to do 4 stitches in the lower layer of tissue and then she got 7 stitches on the outside. Dacia was so cute during the whole thing. She told the Dr she didn't like the smell of the dissolvable stitches and wished she could have used ones that didn't stink. The Dr was very nice and talked with Dacia the whole time she was stitching her up. Dacia said ouch TWO times. She was so brave and did so great. The Dr and nurse and her mommy were very impressed at how well she did for a little girl that didn't even want stitches. She did so awesome.
We stopped at RedBox on the way home and they finally had the Barbie movie they have been wanting to see and we had tacos for dinner(one of Dacia's favorite foods).
From the time I picked Dacia up she talked about wanting new clothes. She was so upset that she got blood on her clothes and she just really wanted to change. She was also upset she got blood on her hairbow. I told her I would make her a new one and that it didn't matter.
Warning if you have a weak stomach you may need to look away. I saved the pictures for last, in hopes that my post would be so long the picture wouldn't be on the screen.
Oh, Does anyone want to donate to the We have to pay out of pocket for the Dr bill today because we don't have insurance because we are in our 3 month waiting period at work Fund. Just Kidding!
One more thing, does anyone have a bubble I can borrow or know where I can rent one for cheap. I would like to put my kids in a bubble so they don't get hurt any more. It's too sad to see them in pain and hurting, even when they are being brave.
After we were done picking out pumpkins we headed home. On the way home the girls started chanting "we want Krispy Kreme...we want Krispy Kreme". Since we just happen to have a coupon for a free dozen in the car we went along with it and stopped and grabbed doughnuts. Mmmmm....fresh, warm, Krispy Kreme's.
As if that wasn't enough Halloween fun today....it was the Trunk or Treat at the church tonight for the Kids. This was actually our first time trunk or treating. I am kinda Anti-Trunk or Treat, but mostly when they do them on Halloween night. So since it wasn't on the 31st I took the girls over. I didn't take many pictures but here is Ashlyn sitting paying games.
