On the mend

Emma got her stitches out on Tuesday. Let's just say, I don't know what was worse, getting them put in or taken out. She literally freaked out when the doctor came near her. It took three of us to hold her down and in the end I thought I was going to have to run her back to the ER to get the stitches put back. The doctor and nurse were exhausted when they were done. The nurse even asked me if I was alright because I guess I was extremely pale. I really was upset that she had to go through that and just wanted to hold her forever. Honestly, I think I could have done better if I would have just done it at home. I sure hope I don't have to go through that again anytime soon.

Olivia is rapidly becoming her old self. Her limp is almost gone...I even caught her running a little tonight. She has become very independent lately too. She dresses herself, helps with Marcus and Emma, cleans up after herself (I don't even have to ask her to do it) and everything. It's pretty cool, but pretty sad at the same time. She's getting to be such a big girl.

Marcus got a fat lip today. I wasn't there so you can't turn me into CPS. It happened at daycare. It's really not that bad, but I decided that's episode #3 and no more bad stuff is going to happen now. We are done...we better be because I'm exhausted and honestly can't take anymore! On a side note...Emma is really into taking pictures lately...she took this one of Marcus...not too bad, don't you think?

Hooray - all is well! Sorry that Emma had to go through stitch removal. Everyone does look healthy and happy - thanks for the update!

Are we there yet? said...

Thanks for the update! I was wondering how the stitches were coming along. Glad Marcus's fat lip ends your injury 3s. Great news both Olivia and Emma look on the mend! Love Auntie Kimmie
