Hailey fell at recess yesterday and had to have stitches. It wasn't a huge cut, but it was open and some fatty tissue was coming out.
Hailey was very brave, waiting to get her stitches.
The dr cleaned it up and numbed it with some gel,
they snipped off part of the fatty deposit then pushed the rest back in, 3 stitches.
She has an amazing dr and nurse who stayed late for us and kept her happy and comfortable the whole time.
Cute, happy girl... said it was so fun to go to the dr! goofball!
Day 2 picture of the stitches... looking pretty good considering, although there is quite a bit of bruising :(
This is what Hailey fell on yesterday..
To make a long story short, she slipped at recess right before school was let out. Nobody noticed. They led them right to the bus and the bus driver and aide on the bus didn't notice the blood on her face, coat and gloves. She didn't tell the teacher or bus driver either, but it is still concerning that no one noticed. I've had a long talk with her teacher and the principal and I really hope some more attention is given to the kids at recess from now on. I'm not mad that she fell, it happens. I'm upset that nobody noticed. Hailey's tough and brave, and we've had a long talk about how she needs to feel safe going to her teacher and teacher's aide if something happens or if she needs help. She does love her teacher, and I hope she doesn't get in trouble. She feels sick about it.

Poor little girl, and yet so brave. Glad it all turned out well.
You are precious, Hugs and Kisses
she was wound up after she came home from the Dr. Glad she took it like a trooper, too bad the school was so clueless about it. Hope this changes the way they watch the kids
