Our little patient


Last night was one of the days that I am sure will not make her favorites list. Just after the older kids got home from school, she tripped on her way to give me a hug. When she put her hands down to catch herself she place her hand on a trash bag ready to be taken outside. Unfortunately, an opened can left a horrible gash in her hand. I won't go into the gory details but essentially she had the cut as far as she could without hitting bone or muscles/tendons. She need six stitches to close it up and she screamed the entire time. It broke my heart.

Yikes! That's an impressive wrap. I'm glad that she's 'okay', although I'm sure that's a reltive term in this case. Good luck with the recuperation time!

Oh, and for someone who just had stitches, she sure took a good picture! Although I suppose I have to give you most of the credit for that. =)

Aw, I'm so sorry that poor Ella got hurt. And that's so scary, for both mom and little one.
I hope she feels better soon.
But I just gotta say, I love your photos. She looks so precious. Great job, as always.
