Tonight Ella fell and hit her head on the entertainment center ..our entertainment center has two little cubbies with doors on them, well she hit right on the handle to the door and got a pretty good gash so we took her to the ER to see if she needed stitches.
Waiting for the Dr.
They put some numbing stuff on a cotton ball and put it under that bandaid for 30 min
Then they swaddled her in a sheet and strapped her down in this thing..well that worked until they started cleaning the wound..then she got her arms out!
still not sure how she did that! So they put her arms in a pillow case and then swaddled her and then strapped her back down before they started the stitches...
I'm not sure what the nurse was doing, I think it was a shot to numb it maybe?
They took this syringe thing and filled it with water, and then flushed out the wound a few times
After they flushed it, it puffed up really big..the nurse said it takes in some of the water
Getting her first stitches
All stitched up!
So happy to be done!
