It's finally happened!

I myself have never broken a bone or had to have stitches in my life. That being said, we took Elizibeth to the Insta Care yesterday to get 4 stitches in her left index finger. This is the first set for either child, cross our finger this is the last set. I did watch the Dr. put the stitches in, which is a feat in itself, but I also cried while holding her little body still during the whole thing.
How did she cut her finger you ask? Playing with Johnathon of course! He has a little tool set that includes a real hammer, tape measure, level you name it, it's in there, for a 3 year old! Cute as heck when he's helping Brian not so much as a toy. They were playing with the tape measure and it sliced her little finger right in the knuckle crease. Brian went upstairs to find her bleeding and screaming like crazy. I was at work so of course he called to let me know he was taking her and I left to meet them in the waiting room.
After two hours, numerous books read, more screaming, 2 nurses, Brian and myself holding her down, and the dirtiest little look any child could give a Dr. we were able to take her home. She was so exhausted from screaming she fell asleep as soon as she hit the couch. Johnathon was just happy to be back home and able to watch toons.

I am glad you left a comment on my blog because I didn't even know you had one of your own. It's cute! I'm sorry about the stitches. You are a brave mom. I had to take my little brother to the ER once and watch the Dr. sew his lip back to his face...it was traumatic!
