Instead of church...

No, it's not scope eye. As we were lowering the mattress on Indies crib, she was standing on the floor holding on to Sherrie's pants and she slipped. She hit her face on the corner of the crib. We spent 2 and a half hours in the emergency room and went with dermabond(super glue), instead of stitches. Hopefully there will be minimal scarring. Indie didn't cry or squirm at all during the procedure, to all of our amazement.

You know, it's a lot easier to just sleep in to get out of church :) What a little trooper, but by the look on her face she's proud of the battle wound.

Ouch! It doesn't say how the parents handled the ordeal...

Lets just say that Brett was driving two crying girls to the hospital.
Tia- We just wanted to tell you that Indie loves the toothbrush that you gave her. We couldn't pry it from her fingers tonight so we just had to put her to bed with it.

Oh, that's so sad! :( I hate when little ones get hurt. They're so innocent and precious. I'm sure it will be gone before you know it. That's the best part... they heal so quickly!

What a tough little girl! I'm glad she's ok other than the big shiner!

Scars build character. Yeah. That's the ticket. Brett, tell Sherrie that scars build character.

Sherrie Heywood said...

Yes, character is good, but the best kind of character is the unseen character. -Brett

I am so sorry guys. That is so traumatic. Well...at least she might have a scar on her forehead like her aunt Sunni.

Sherrie Heywood said...

I have a scar on my head almost in the same spot from a rifle. Brett has one over is eye, so we're the scar family. -Sherrie
