The kids went to the zoo and were walking thru the jungle. Makayla is a bit taller than the last time she was there and when she ducked under a rock passage she hit her head. It made a puncture wound in her scalp and was still oozing a bit of blood 4 hours later when I got home. I ran her to our wonderful pediatrician who said we could put a staple in or you can try a very tiny braid and pull it together that way. We went home washed her hair carefully and put in a tiny tight braid and in the morning it was no longer bleeding. We removed the braid Sunday and checked her about a week later and the wound was completely healed up!! yea for easy fixes!
I did a quick run to the store after getting Makayla settled and Brie tagged along. She insisted she push the cart and I said fine. I was leading and the poor little thing can barely see over the handle and caught the edge of a pallet and the shopping cart jerked and the handle caught her right on the tooth/gum. There was a lady passing us and she saw it happen and gasped. I turned picked Brie up and headed down a less busy isle. She did great! Wanted to cry but held it in, used a tissue for the blood and we quickly made our purchase and exited the building! The tooth was a bit loose but I checked it yesterday and it has tightened back down again. The gum looks great also, phew another potential bad that did not turn out to badly!!
