Little Lily had a great fall!

Little Lily had a great fall!

July 28, 2007

Well there is no denying that this child belongs to Chris and I! Lily had another first last night... her first trip to the ED of North Arundel Hospital! Let me unfold the story for you... yesterday afternoon once Chris got home from work he and Lily were playing Russian Gymnast on our living room floor. Lily was doing her summersaults with Chris's help and her was flipping her backwards. We were having a great time. Lily got all excited and full force ran toward the TV. As she ran she lost her balance and her feet got all twisted under her. Chris and I both saw where she was going to hit and we both jumped to get her but it was too late. She hit full force, head first against the flat front edge of our entertainment center. :-( It was horrible! She was screaming, and we couldn't see anything yet because of where she hit is under her bangs. Once we finally found the spot we saw that it looked like she filleted open her forehead. We worked on getting the blood cleaned away and the actual area that is open is about the size of a thumb nail. I had to push the edges to close it, so that was our sign that she may need a few stitches. So off to the ED we go! When we got there Lily was back to normal self, she has turned into quite the monkey climbing on everything so the ED was like a huge play yard for her! When we finally got to see the doctor they took a look and told us that because it was a nice clean line that they could use Dremabond (like super glue) to close it for us. If it had ragged edges then they would have had to stitch it.She was soooo good for this. It took 4 of us to hold her, but that is only because she had to be totally still. She only cried a little because the Dermabond burns. So after we glued our kid back together we got to take her home! This morning she is completely normal. We have to keep the area on her forehead covered so that she doesn't pick at it, but other then that they said that it would flake off in a few days. The only other injury is that she has a nice red mark on her left cheek. Chris and I have been calling her Lillian Ali!! We just thought we would pass along another first for our girl!! :-)
