It's finally off!


Emma's tape and glue was supposed to fall off in 5-10 days. It apparently had other plans! She busted her head open on June 10th. My mom and I both cleaned around it several times because it had that band-aid like sticky stuff that was collecting all the worlds dirt in it. Still, the thing didn't budge. So when I took Hailey in for her well-baby he told me to use something like nail polish remover to make the glue unstick. He said that wound was healed probably in 5 days but the glue was just hanging on. It had been driving JR nuts and he had been wanting to pull it off so you better believe as soon as I told him that he was going to get to work immediately! He somehow convinced Emma to lay on his lap while he just pulled it off. She squirmed a little but was fine when it was done!


So now, we call her #1 because it looks like she has the #1 on her head! We figure she just wants to make sure that nobody can forget her status! :)

Emma's 1st ER Trip

Most of you know this story already because I put the pics on Facebook but I have to put it here for the main records! :)

This evening Emma somehow managed to trip over herself, fall and bang her forehead right on the corner of the wall in the kitchen. Eli was in there and saw the whole thing and as soon as he saw the blood pouring out of her head he started freaking out and yelling that she was bleeding. Then Kayla gets to her and does the same thing. It did look nasty simply because of the amount of blood that was coming out of it but as we know, head wounds bleed a ton no matter how big or little the cut is! Anyways, once JR and I got her sitting down in the bathroom and got most of the blood off of her face Kayla and I took her to the emergency room for stitches. After waiting for who knows how long in the waiting room and listening to some poor woman throw up in a tiny bag they gave her and all the other hustle and bustle of your typical ER they finally get us back to be seen by the doctor. Fortunately he gave us 2 choices...we could either do stitches or Dermabond. I certainly didn't want to put her through the trauma of stitches if I didn't have to so we opted for the Dermabond. Emma did great through the whole thing because she is so dang shy. She wouldn't say a word or move an inch. She just stared at him while he got her all taped and glued together! And all in all I think we were there for 3-4 hrs and we hadn't eaten dinner. So we stopped and got her a special post ER visit Happy Meal. :)
