A day we will never forget ....

Earlier in the week Mya hasn't been feeling well so today I made her an appointment just to see that all was okay. She wasn't eating like she usually does, nor was she playing or napping like herself. Her appointment was well, there wasn't anything showing in her bloodwork that she had come down with something, so they just stated she was under the weather and that she should be back to her old self again soon.
Well, not even an hour later she and I were at home and she managed to be walking and her wobbly self fell down and bumped her head into the corner of the wall. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty site for me. She had blood running down her face and all over her and I. She was a champ through it all, I was the one that was borderline freaking out. But I managed to stop the bleeding and after calling Derrick and Grandma Hatfield it was decided that a trip to the ER was a good idea.
Derrick met us at the ER. The doctor decided against 3 stitches and instead place dermabond (super glue for your body) in her cut for healing. In the days after I started calling Mya "Frank-en-Baby". The wound looked just like Frankenstein minus the stitch marks. All and all the ER visit wasn't too bad. Mya was walking around talking to everyone while eating snacks and watching tv. Our entire trip to the ER was over in 2 hours, not bad for an ER visit I hear.
On Sunday, August 16 the scab fell off and now we are left with a pink, semi red/bloody scar on her forehead. We are applying mederma scar ointment to the area a few times a day to help prevent a horrible scar. Hopefully in the end the scar is pretty clean and light.
