Rite of Passage - Stitches!

Willow had a bit of an adventure late afternoon yesterday.  She was playing with a child in her after-school program and was being swung around--and fell to the the floor hard.  On her chin.  With a big gash.

I left work early, expecting to see just a small cut--but...emergency room, three hours and SEVEN Stitches later we were home!

She was a brave girl and now she has survived another Rite of Passage!

This one is a bit gruesome  (if you want to skip over it, there are more nice pictures):






Owwww!!


The results:

Seven stitches for the Seven Year Old!

Good Job, Willow!

Glad it was not too serious and proud of my little girl!

That's major ouch, and she handled it so beautifully.

Good job, Willow. I can only imagine how much anxiety it would have caused you.

Take care.
