Our little star falls




Beautiful Monday here... ends in the ER. LOL

A sign of spring maybe! Kiddos with skinned knees, bumps & bruises!

Our little star was hanging upside down from the recliner... "trying to grab a blanket"... when she tried to pull herself back up, she instead went tumbling down. A battle ensued with the piano and the piano won!

So as mommy is holding her sobbing star, she is dutifully trying to locate the bump that MUST be there. What mommy wasn't looking for was blood, but she found it. So daddy sent us off to the ER as it was difficult to ascertain the depth of the short, bleeding gash.

Thank goodness for Gram & GDude! Our little star's emotions went out of the galaxy when she heard mommy was taking her to see a dr. But the stars re-aligned themselves when she heard that Gram & GDude would meet her there. Mommy's heart gave a HUGE sigh of relief.


All said, Little Star didn't need stitches. Instead, the genius Dr took a little hair from one side of the wound and a little hair from the other side of the wound and tied the hair in a knot over the wound. Genius! And lest you think we got an ER quack... we know this particular doctor. He is the surgeon our other little cherub was a patient of years ago. That little cherub is sporting skinned knees tonight! (Completely separate incident- Mommy seemed tied to the nurse's hat today)

And yet... there exists no whine in me tonight! The sun was shining and it was WARM!!!

And now sleep beckons... tomorrow is a new day!
