Madeleine got her stitches taken out yesterday afternoon. She was very nervous, as several of her friends at school told her that getting them taken out was the worst part. They told her it hurt really bad. Well, it was a cinch. A few quick snips and they pulled right out! She’s very glad to have them out, she said they were bothering her a lot. And the cut looks like it’s healing very nicely.
That Madeleine would be the first child in our family to get stitches. Well, that is how we spent the latter part of yesterday evening. At the Emergency Room, getting Madeleine four stitches in her lip.
Seems when we were leaving dinner, Josh opened the sliding door on the van as Madeleine was walking around the back corner, and the door got her, hit her lip, and knocked her right on her butt. At first I thought that she had tripped, and hit her mouth on the door when she was falling, but it doesn’t seem that is the case. Ask Madeleine about it, she will be sure to start her story with “Well Josh…”.
So, here is the finished product. Please excuse the boogers and the dirty face. I have a couple from the ER last night, and if Jeff can get them off my phone for me (I don’t know how!) I will add them. I have to say, she was pretty brave, not a tear to be had at the ER, just a little shaking, and then a little upset stomach when all was said and done. But my girl is pretty courageous. She must get that from her Dad!
