First Injury




When you have a household of girls, you have plenty of drama. However, we have been void of injuries and accidents until last week. After 13+ years of having kids in the house, this was our first trip to the ER for an injury. Until now we haven't had any stitches or broken bones (and we still can claim the no broken bones). Somehow, Camille ran into a rod-iron swing and cut her eyebrow wide open. Sorry for the gory photo. It was obvious that she was going to need stitches. Troy met us at the hospital and determined that he could stitch it up but we decided to let the hospital take care of it: 1) So daddy didn't inflict pain; 2) So mommy wasn't the one holding her down; and 3) because we've already met our deductible for the year so this would be FREE. She was a trooper and I don't think she will remember any of the incident. The stitches look great and are right on her eyebrow so I don't think there will be much to see when everything heals. Let's pray for another 13 years of calm. Oh, wait - we have a boy now..................
