Visit to the Emergency Roon

Yes, you read it correctly, we did have to visit the ER. Allison was being a doll and was keeping Remington occupied while I got some cleaning done and next thing I hear is blood curtling screams! "My ear, My ear!" I honestly thought that her poor ear was compeletly gone! When I saw it, I was relieved to see the ear still mostly intact. What had indeed happened was she was running after Remington and she slipped on a rug by our island in the kitchen slamming her pierced ear against the counter top and shoving her earring up, yes that is right, up her ear. The force of the blow also caused the back of her ear lobe to split wide open. Total we were in it 2 stitches in the front and 8 along the back of the lobe. No worries, however; she is fine and she had the stitches removed today. We are back in business again! She is so strong and mature for her age. She handled the entire situation with such maturity and courage. She even managed to find the good in it all. As we were leaving the ER she said with a smile on her face. "I can't wait til I can go to school and show my class my stitches." WOW what a woman!

Ouch!!! Poor girl. Will she be able to wear earring again? Does she have to get it re-pierced? I'm glad she's ok. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the title emergency room.
