20 or so minutes after posting about how great my day was Grace jumps in the pool and instead of landing in the water... her chin landed on the bricks! Nice little triangle shaped gash right under the chin. Maddie (having just got stitches in the same place 3 weeks ago) started asking if Grace was bleeding, did she need to go to the hospital, did she need stitches, was it going to stop bleeding!? Wrapped everyone up in towels and headed inside. Todd was on his way home and wouldn't be home for another 10 minutes so we headed over to Kimi's to have her give a second opinion. Todd got home and we all agreed that while it probably could've taken a stitch or two... it would have traumatized Grace more than helped.
She was brave though. Her eyes were the size apples with everyone around looking at her. Bandaids, Neo and a tsp of Motrin later she was passed out after her long day at camp and sleep all night long.
Looked great this morning!
Ouch!! I caused my brother to need stitches in his chin at a very young age- I pushed him into the pool and he hit his chin on the cement surrounding the pool! He's fairly proud of his scar, and I'm pretty proud that I actually left a mark on him! lol
