MaKenna's Stitches

So last Thursday we had a little miss hap. Yes at 8 months old MaKenna is one of the first cousins to have to get stitches. I was putting laundry in the washer and She was standing next to one of our surround sound speakers and pulled it down on her. It only scared her a little bit and she got a tiny cut on her cheek. She didn't cry until I ran back into the living room to see what had happened.
I called the doctor and because it was on her face they didn't want to see her so they told me to go to Primary Children's. So we got our first experience in the ER. We were there for over 5 hours and we came out of it with 2 stitches and a crayola band aid
Sorry its so blurry but this is what it looked like before the stitches

Here she is in the ER they just put some numbing stuff on it and some gauze and tape.

They gave her a little bit of medicine to make her a little woozy so they could put the stitches in. The doctors were worried because she was playing so much and just not really wanting to hold still. So they thought they might have to give her something stronger but she did great.
2 stitches and 25 minutes later she was up and playing and back to her self. Well maybe acting a little silly still from the meds.
Here she is at home just snoozing away it was such a long day for her and she was pooped. Of course she didn't want me to leave her alone so I held her a little bit while she slept.
