One Stitch, Two Stitch

Last Saturday this mommy earned several more gray hairs!  Riley lost her balance on her scooter and fell with her face landing right on the handlebar.  Good grief!  Riley is typically pretty good on the scooter, but told us she wasn't paying attention resulting in the accident.  

Since her face was stopped by the handlebar, she had a slight gash on her eyebrow and pretty rough abrasion below her eye.  She definitely looked like she had gotten into a fight.  The tears and screams were heart breaking, but went away pretty quickly.  That was of course, until we went to immediate care just to make sure that she didn't damage anything else.  The doc at immediate care thought the cut on her eyebrow could use a few stitches.  Riley was not having it, she freaked out all over again and had to be restrained for the procedure.

Thankfully it was over before we knew it.  Tears eventually stopped flowing, and when we got home the only rule was, nothing with wheels until the stitches came out.  Which she willingly followed.

Here is what our "Little Rocky" looked like:

Riley got the stitches out this past Thursday with not a tear shed.  Let's hope that there isn't a third time!!!
