Olivia's 1st Big Boo Boo

It finally happened after almost 7 years of being parents, an injury that makes you go running to the emergency room. Olivia was playing last night and slashed open left eyebrow. She fell or tripped and hit her eye on a metal Cars lunchbox the kids keep crayons on. No one is exactly sure what happened, as I was in a different room and Steven was in the kitchen, Sofia was with her and all we got is lunchbox and she has BLOOD! One look at it and we knew we had to head to ER, it was so deep. The kids went to the neighbors and we left the house and sped to the ER. Luckily they were not busy and we were seen within 5 minutes and they said stitches right away.

Olivia was not happy about any part of the visit, she cried when they put the id braclet on her foot, and every time someone touched her she was sure to let them know she was not happy about it. After waiting a half hour for medicine to numb the area, she received internal and external stitches. The hardest part was that they had to wrap her and strap her down so she did not move and she was screaming the entire time the pediatrician was stitching her eye. At the end she was getting pretty tired and started saying "all done", bless her little heart, she was more than ready to go.

Today she is happy and back to herself, these photos are from after we got home and all cleaned up, she was more than ready to go to bed. You would never know that she got hurt, but her parents still do, events like this leave lasting effects on us! I would rather go through chemo and all I did over and over again than have one of them hurt, that is something I just can not handle.
