I lifted this morning before spin (legs). 

Spin

Had a daycare lady come get me early from class.  My Peachy had tripped on a toy and busted her lip open.  Off to the doctor office and then the ER. 

They told me she would probably be put to sleep since she is so young (2) and would be wiggley while they did the stitches. 

But she was a CHAMP and took the local numbing and didn't move.  She thinks her hospital bracelet is cool.  Hooray for my good friend who took my big kids during our brief hospital trip.

Thankfully, this has been our very first trip to the ER and it was only stitches.

oh my! i am so glad she is okay. hospital bracelets are way cool! tell her she is one brave little girl. they would've had to put me completely under before they did anything to me. i'm just a big baby!

Thanks KP - she was pretty darn cute on the great big hospital bed.

ouch poor girl. glad she's smiling now.

Super cute, even with the Frankenstein stitches! So glad it wasn't more serious.

From RAD on Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 16:36:33 from 67.172.229.125

Wow, what a good girl! I'm glad it was just a few stitches as well, and that she is smiling now.

Yikes! I'm glad she's okay and smiling. One of my sons had to get stitches in his tongue once.

I'm guessing that this won't be your last trip to the ER.

Wow, she must be tough. At least it wasn't one of those 4 inch scarring cuts across the middle of her forehead or something. Looks like it should heal fine.
