Last night, right before bathtime, she spun, fell and whacked her ear. Said ear was bleeding profusely and a trip to the ER was warranted.
She was, of course, panicked at the thought of stitches, but in all honesty, the idea of the ER itself freaked her out a little bit, too.
As she so happily informs everyone who calls today to ask, "no stitches," but she did get glued.
I was proud of how well she held still, even though the sterile water was cold, and the glue burned. The worst part was where her Mumpledom showed and the one tech was, for about 10 seconds, glued TO her.
Of course, after we were home, she also quickly figured out how to milk the situation for as much ice cream, and gentle care as she could.
So, first, I present pictures of her gashed ear from last night:
And from today:

YIKES! Poor thing. I hope her ear feels better soon. And thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your 2 cents!
Oh my word! Poor little thing. That looks like it warrants hot cocoa, too.
Ouch! I hope the owie is quickly healed. How fun for her to be able to announce, "I got glued".
Thanks for the wonderful comment on my blog. Your insight is truly divine. I've sent some "warm fuzzies" into the universe. I hope they reach you soon. :)
Oh, BTW - nothing combusted.
Oh poor kid! Give her a hug from me. OUCH!
