1st ER Trip

My neighbor and I trade babysitting once a week.  This day, I was cleaning at another neighbors and got a call from Bonnie.  I'm still not sure of the real story, but I think what happened is Brooke ran into Tristan on the swings and bit through her lip. 

It was pretty bad and Bonnie thought she might need stitches.  I called the doctor's office and instacare, but no one here will stitch if it is on the face.  They told me we'd have to go to the ER.

It just so happened that the same day Matt's car had broken down so he took mine and I didn't have one.  Luckily, I have AWESOME neighbors and Pam (who I clean for) offered to take me to the ER. 

Lucky for me, Bonnie was the one who had to deal with all the blood and had her mostly cleaned up and clothes changed by the time I got there. That made it much easier for me to stay calm. 

Brookelyn was in a panic about getting stitches and wouldn't even let me put her down for the nurse to weigh her.  In the end, she had to get the outside glued shut and the inside healed on its own.  She was back outside playing after like nothing had even happened.
