She looks like a gangsta' with the wrap on her head. It was just to keep a piece of gauze over the cut to help the numbing gel work it's magic. 2 staples (she didn't even flinch! What a trooper!), a handful of stickers, and hundreds of $$ later we were on our way home. So, Eve wins the race to the ER (surely not our last trip, but first of at least a handful), AND wins the weekend race to the hospital. Hopefully next time it's my turn (to the hospital...that is)! Praise God that she's doing just fine and not even bothered by it. No problems from the blow to the back of her head. She's just her normal little self. He is a great protector and healer.

Off to the Hospital!
This blog title/entry was supposed to be for me and the new baby, but Eve beat us to it. Today we were eating lunch. Fortunately Buck was working from home today. John and I had just gotten back from the Mother's Day Brunch at his preschool (so very sweet...the kids all sang and he did a great job singing along and doing the motions...skidamarinki dinki dink and a rewritten version of "Let me be your teddy bear"...placemats with John's answers to questions about me and a cute little picture of him). Anyway, I digress. Eve was standing in her chair and we were repeatedly telling her "EVE, ON YOUR BOTTOM!". So, of course she fell between the chairs at the table. Not sure if she hit her head on the other chair or on the floor, but somehow with no sharp object around and no blood to be found on the furniture or floor, she ended up with a little gash on the back of her head. I was holding her to calm her down when all of a sudden I saw Buck's eyes and knew something was wrong. He saw the blood in her hair. So, we put a wet rag on it and she actually calmed down pretty quickly, and it stopped bleeding pretty quickly. I took her to the Dr.s office. They said it was borderline, but to head on to the ER.

Ummm, that sounds exactly like what Madison did at the same age. She also fell off of her booster seat at the table. She ended up with three staples in the back of her head too. I hope Eve feels better!
Oh my poor baby. Big hugs and kisses from Grandma Bucky for her first big injury. What a nasty thing to happen. She really looks pitiful with her turban. Hang in there mom and dad.
