Stitches

In an effort to make 2010 exciting, Catarina decided to crack her forehead open. Apparently she was trying to climb up on the daybed at grandma's and ended up hitting her forehead on the windowsill... This is twice she has cracked her head open on a windowsill. So, we ended up in urgent care waiting for 45 minutes for the doc to come into the room. They gave us some gauze with a numbing agent to hold on her forehead. Then the doc finally came in and said she could use one stitch to make it heal nicely, especially since it's so low on her forehead.

So, with mommy at her side, Cat climbed up on the bed thing and got ready for the stitch. She did really well and only cried a couple of times while the doc gave her shots to numb the spot. Mom did pretty well too, for a while. Thank goodness grandma was there to take over holding Cat. Mom almost passed out. She doesn't have quite as strong a stomach as she thought she did. She had to sit down and put her head between her knees. Apparently she was white as a ghost when grandma took over. Good thing grandma already went thru all of this with her three boys. LOL!

Cat now has one stitch in her forehead and goes in to have the stitch removed in 10 days. She has tape on her forehead to protect the wound while it heals.

Note to self: PAD ALL WINDOWSILLS!!!
