I never guessed that my Hannah would be the first one heading to the ER, or the first one to have stitches. That being said, it happened and she was a brave little trooper! We spent the afternoon on our last weekend of summer with our neighbors at the pool, ordered pizza for dinner, and actually had the entire neighborhood pool to ourselves! As the kids were picking up pool toys...there was a splash, then cries for help. Hannah slipped on the side of pool, splitting her chin and bumping her head as she clung to the side. Got the bleeding to stop pretty quickly and her and I headed home to drop off Lukey (with Carla), grabbing some dry clothes before leaving to the ER. We had amazing nurses and a great doctor while we were there and Hannah did so well! She did get sick after they put her stitches in, so routine procedure is a CT scan. Hannah and I cuddled in her hospital bed, watching Disney Channel, Toy Story 3 while we waited for results. We left after about two and a half hours, Hannah received three butterfly stitches and a possible mild concussion diagnosis. She slept with me that night, just so I could monitor her, and woke up feeling ok! Hannah had PreK orientation later that morning and went with excitement and a smile despite her injury! Stitches will come off in about 5-7 days...hoping for little to no scarring, but since it is under her chin we may luck out with a very discreet scar! Thanks to the Morans for keeping everyone calm at the pool, Carla for keeping Lukey, Dr. Branscome (our ER doctor), Kim, Erin, & Ashley (our ER nurses) and everyone who send us love & prayers!
