June 22 Happy Birthday Chanse

Chanse rock'n with his Jake's guitar!
So today was Chanse's real birthday. We were planing on celebrating as a family after Hero's nap. But things changed. Hero ran and fell face first into the kid table corner. We spent the afternoon at the ER. So fun!!! We pretty much walked right in which was great. But we had to sit for 30 minutes holding a numbing agent on Hero's lip. Which by the way cut all the way through. Then she fell asleep. The Dr. came back and they gave her a shot to numb it more. The Dr. said she would have to do stitches because it went all the way through and could not do the liquid stitches. SO they gave Hero a numbing shot and when the shot was in, Hero woke up. Then she was wrapped up like a mummy and they cleaned her wound and then gave her 3 stitches. One inside and 2 outside. The Dr. gave her a Popsicle, we checked out and paid. Then we were getting ready to leave and Hero yelled out "OH no!!" I look at her and her stitches popped open. So I go back up to the window and they let us back in and then they put on the liquid stitches. I am not sure why now it was OK. The Dr. had also put in dissoluble stitches and said it was just as good as regular but then when it popped out she said "I guess I should have done the other kind." So poor Hero had to go through all the numbing and shot and stitches just to end up with them coming out and having one stitch in her mouth and then getting the liquid. Why didn't they just do the liquid to begin with. I am so paranoid of the wound reopening. I keep thinking it is peeling off. I am a mess. I also have to give her antibiotics 2x a day. I am having a hard time getting it in her and keeping her hands away from the wound. Poor kid.

Well we got home and Chanse fell asleep so we then waited for him to wake up and then we had dinner and cake and presents. Chanse and Hero got ukuleles which they call Jake's guitars. They were so excited. The end of the day was a little more fun. Happy birthday Chanse.
