Well we went back to the ER today for the umpteenth time… This time it was not for illness. Samantha fell and hit her head on the edge of the TV center and got a 3/4 inch laceration to her forehead. She got 2 internal stitches and 6 external stitches up and down on the left side of the forehead. I just have to laugh, because it does not do any good to cry!!!!
Poor Samantha! I hear your motto about laughing instead of crying. That is what has gotten me this far! Ryann fell off the changing table onto the hard floor and got a concusion yesturday! I thought I was going to pass out, I definately would have passed out if I was in your shoes and had to deal with blood Hope she is not in too much pain!
Janice, Kaelyn fell two weeks ago and split her forehead open as well. I know it’s not any consolation, but the triage nurse at the ER said that it’s almost like a rite of initiation around this age. They apparently see lots of toddlers with random cuts because they love to move fast, but aren’t exactly graceful yet!
Here’s hoping that you can avoid the ER for quite some time!
