Having 4 kids and being parents for almost 8 years now, we've gone through most of the common kid ailments-broken bones, hospital stays, poop horror stories, barfing anywhere but the toilet, bad coughs & fevers, falling from heights, and realizing at the END of the trip to the grocery store that you forgot to finish buckling your child in her car seat. Can I just say thank you God for guardian angels?! However, there was one last rite of passage we hadn't dealt with yet...stitches. Lily covered that one for us the other day!
We are now, officially, veteran parents! Until the teen years, that is...
Nothing big...just 3 stitches, and she was so brave I couldn't believe it. The nurses were awesome with her & kept bringing her fruit gummies & kept the cartoons on. She was calm & still, so we didn't have to papoose her-such a blessing. A week later, all is fine & she just has the tiniest mark. Knowing Lily, it won't be her only battle mark!
This is her with her BIG ole' sucker I promised and promised her I would buy her after it was all over. They make everything all better!
