On UEA weekend we had a family first. Not a good first of course. We had the lovely opportunity to take our baby to get stiches. None of my boys have ever had stiches because fo a fall. Tuhker got them after his ear surgery but he was knocked out. Go figure that the first one would be my daughter!! The pictures isn't that great but she got about 8 stiches. The best part was going to get them. We were in Grover and she got hurt on the 4-wheeler. They brought her in the house and of course Travis was no where to be found. We told the rest of the children to get off the 4 wheelers and stay in the house because Travis' mom was going to go with me and there were no other adults around. We drove to the clinic about 20 minutes away in Bicknell and of course my daughter would not let me put a rag on her head so blood was dripping down her face. They got us back in the room and Travis showed up. Him and his dad had come back to the house to get something and the kids told him we took Adela in because she got hurt on the 4 wheeler. He was thinking the worst and was glad to see it was only stiches. When the doctor saw how out of control she was she decided to orally sedate her. The went to the dentist who is in the same clinic to ask him how (go figure, small town). She didn't end up taking all the medicine because she spit part of it out. This is how they had to do the stiches. They wrap her in a blanket and two nurses held her body down while Travis put one hand on her head and one under her chin to try to keep her head still. I sat in the waiting room listening to her scream for 30 minutes!!!! All in all, not my favorite first!!!Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Jo, I am so sorry about the stithes and then on your only girl, and then on her cute face. Luckily she is still so young and her body has it's super healing powers!
We have had to do stitches many of times, and I still can't be in the room when they do them. In fact the last time it was Pete, and I just had Jared take him. I am a wimp, and the crying just doesn't help!!!
