Stitches...

On our way out from the Aquarium, I had bough a rubber frog for Emily. she was SO excited and paying attention to it and not where she was walking. Well as she tried to step down from the curb, she slipped and fell, landing on both knees... One was scraped but very mildly and the other had a bunch of rocks on it, it didn't look too bad, until... the blood started flowing and Emily LOST it... poor kid, so my brother and i decided that it was bad enough with enough rocks and dirt that we needed to head to the closest Hospital.
I am not sure if any of you have ever had to endure getting stitches your self but that is truly NOTHING compared to watching your terrified daughter get them. My only suggestion is if at all possible, please go to Primary children's hospital, at least there they can give them a type of sedation to make them relax. However, we were much to far from there, so we went to Alta view, and they were very nice and did a great job and were actually very quick but still, the screams... they were the worst. Emily hates to be confined and they had to strap her to a board to keep her still... Long story, still kind of long, she got 3 stitches and purple tape to match her clothes... Oh and a teddy bear...

Not the best picture but that is what I have...
