Accidents Happen



Saturday started out like a normal day. Then got boring. very boring. i didn't have the energy for much that day. We got groceries and went to the dollar store. After dinner,Hendrik had gone out, and i was sitting at my laptop when suddenly Shannay was next to me screaming her head off,blood oozing down her face. Immediately my heart stopped, i grabbed her and stuffed a towel on her face. At that point she got mad, because she hates having anything on her face. Somehow (and we still aren't sure how) she managed to get a deep gash on the bridge of her nose. Once her face was cleaned up,she said "Owie Mommy!!! now play" Stinker. At that point i figured shed be OK,but the cut looked deep so i thought better get Hendrik home and take her to the Emergency. When i actually dialed Hendriks number, it was at that point that i broke down, i remember saying something about come home now, hospital, and Shannay, in between crying. When we got to the hospital, Shannay was all pro, finger in the little thing to get her heart beat, and even let the nurse put the hospital bracelet on her. "Pitty mommy!!"

Then the even harder part came. The Dr. came in to see her, said she would need stitches. (Again, not a good moment for me ;) lol ) Now, she wanted to play,she wanted to jump on the bed, and we had to hold a cotton ball with freezing gel on her face for 20 minutes. Not. Happening!! Try one-Hendrik hold her i hold her hands. No go. worked for about 3 minutes. Try Two- i hold her, Hendrik holds her hands. She cried (screamed) and i sang. the only song i could think of at that moment. Klappes in je Handjes. she couldn't clap, or move or anything, but she calmed down, got froze, and got stitched.




All said and done, i have one brave little girl, and stitches, didn't slow her down, one little bit :)
