Well it was bound to happen one day. Our first set of stitches in our family. And it happened of all places..at church!
Shane had taken the girls to the bathroom before primary while I was in primary setting up. When primary started and they still weren't there I walked around the corner to see if they were coming. Aria saw me and yelled 'Mom' and started running down the hallway towards me. Right as she got to the cultural hall doors, the door opened right into her. It knocked her off her feet. At first I thought she would just have a big goose egg. Shane got to her first and picked her up and she laid her head down, as she lifted her head there was blood everywhere! Down her face, all over her glasses, in her hair, down Shane's shirt. It was so bad. Luckily the man who opened the door had a bunch of Kleenex with him.
It was such a blessing as well that the other lady that stopped lived across the street from Jason Hancey in our ward, who is a plastic surgeon. He had just left to drive a sick kid home and she was able to get ahold of him. He came back to church, took a look at it and told Shane just to follow him to his office. I'm so grateful he was able to help as we didn't have to take our chances with someone at Instacare. And he did such an amazing job stitching her up. It ended up that the door handle connected to her forehead and put a hole in head to the bone. He had to stitch up the muscle and then she got 4 stitches on the outside.
She still has a steri strip on the wound but Dr. Hancey said if the scar bothers us he can laser it for us. So we'll see how it heals up before doing anything yet.
