Emergency Room

Karen slipped on the floor after her bath last night and cut her head on the door frame. It was a pretty deep gash that I thought needed stitiches. Jonathan and Natalie came home early from Cub Scouts and Activity Days at the church and Karen and I headed to Urgent Care. The doctor there said we needed to go to the ER. Karen got 3 stitches. They wrapped her to a papoose board in a sheet like a burrito. She did great while the doctor sewed her up. She got a little upset right at the end. We finally got home at 11:30 pm (she hit her head at 7:00). She is our first kid to get stitches--and hopefully our last. I'll take no broken bones as well. The cut is hidden in her hair so I can't really get a good picture of it.

Oh poor Karen! Can you imagine what mom must have felt like when I fell off the deck?!? That's great that she did so well in the papoose board, I wouldn't be able to see Cam strapped down like that. Remember when I cut my ear at that pizza place? Well, I'm glad she's okay and that it wasn't any worse!

Parenthood wouldn't be real w/o a few stitches. We know that story well.
