Em added some excitement to our week, last week, when she ended up with 6 stitches in her chin. Shawn was out of town and the kids were just about ready to go to bed. Em was sitting on her bathroom counter looking at her tooth in the mirror. She hopped down and when she did, she nailed her chin. It caused a huge gash. I immediately face timed Shawn to confirm my suspicions that she would need stitches. So off we went to urgent care. The numbing shots were definitely the worst part and seeing her in tears put me and Evan in tears too. She was a trooper though and they were able to get her all fixed up pretty quickly.
Luckily she only had to keep them in for 5 days, so it wasn't too bad. She does have to sit out of sports for 2 weeks to allow it more time to heal, but she's already got a week under her belt. We certainly don't want to take any chances of her getting hit in the same spot and it opening back up.
Now both kids have had their first and hopefully last set of stitches!
