Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / June 2006Stitches
Poor DD managed to fall forward from the couch and whack her face on the table. DH was saying "oh no - she's bleeding, get something - do something" So I see all this blood on her face and he says "her eye is bleeding" Well- I *LOST* it - never did before - I was shrieking and jumping around! Then the phone rang and it was my mom so I scream into the phone "DD got hurt and her eye is bleeding what do i do" and mom says call 911. So I do that and i'm all crazy - meanwhile DH determines the cut is next to her eye and wants a cloth to clean her and stop the bleeding. Anyway 2 ambulances and 2 police cars come! They take us to the ER and she got nicelt stitched up after a nice long wait because of a mix-up with the plastic surgeon's phone service! We happend to get the same plastic surgeon on call when DD fell and cut her chin open last year. So, she is fine but swollen, poor kid. And I am unhappy that I reacted that way. No "calm, cool and collected" for me last night! Do all these bang-ups mean no modeling career? (with her potentially growing over 6 feet tall it's something I can't help thinking of!)

Ever play Fish Tycoon? Setting the computer clock ahead makes your fish grow fast or your research get completed! LOL >Poor DD managed to fall forward from the couch and whack her face on the >table.

(with her potentially growing >over 6 feet tall it's something I can't help thinking of!) Don't know but it might not be a problem. Judging from DD - all the cuts and bruises and stitches she had so far - and no scars. Seems kids heal well. But I can understand your feeling. Was there myself. So I made it a habit to first say. "Get up" and if she does I can drastically reduce my worries. And yes some of those cuts look scary when bleeding. Now she is 10 and still I know I should have gone into the medical first aid supply business. >>Poor DD managed to fall forward from the couch and whack her face on the >>table.

Didnt get the op :( {{{{{Nanner}}}}} have you had chance to do a first aid course?? it might make these things less scary for you. K had a *bad* graze right under her eye that she did months ago. I was really worried it was going to scar. Peeps here suggested vitamin e capsules squeezed on to the scar amongst other things. She still does have a scar but it is fading slowly and really only I can notice it now. It is horrid though isnt it when you think of their lovely soft skin :(  SignatureSarah ******************************************* Cedar shingles should be shaved and saved. >>>Poor DD managed to fall forward from the couch and whack her face on the >>>table.

It looked like blood was gushing out of her eye socket, I don't think any training would help a mom in that situation LOL > K had a *bad* graze right under her eye that she did months ago.

The scar is barely noticeable and she is so young that hopefully it will fade as she grows. >She still does have a scar but it is fading slowly and really only I can >notice it now.

Works well, smells good, not a prescription, not too expensive. Green, too! Beth |
