Head Glue

Oh what a night.  Emmy slipped climbing out of the bath tub tonight and cut open her head.  It stopped bleeding right away, but the nurse suggested we bring her to the ER to get it sealed up -- more for cosmetic reasons than anything.

Of course this all happened late at night - past bedtime.  Heather was nice enough to come stay with Reese until Todd got home from basketball.  Emmy and I headed to the ER and had to wait for 3 hours (ugh!) because they were so busy.

We met another little girl in the waiting room waiting for the exact same reason -- she fell off the couch and cut open her head.  And we discovered Emmy and this girl were born just 2 days apart at the same hospital.  I guess head gashes are common for girls who just turned 4 - ha!

When it was finally our turn just after midnight, the doctor gave me the option of a couple stitches of glue with the same outlook for healing and scarring (should be just a little white line that will fade).  Since Emmy had fallen asleep, I opted for glue since it would be a less painful application.  She slept right through it.  Finally time to head home after a long night.
