I could bore you with all of the ugly, and I do mean ugly, details but I won't. I will leave it at a fall after dinner turned into an entire night in the ER (arrived home at 5:00 a.m.). There was a papoose and straight board involved because my girl really does differ from typical kids. She has sensory issues, especially when it comes to medical establishments. Next time, we will sedate her - even the doc agreed with that. Adeline was a trooper, never once fussed about spending the night in the ER. She saved all of her horrific fussing for the stitching itself. My poor baby girl. . .
Here she is sporting her dark blue stitches. . .
Six days later, we were back in the ER strapping her down with the papoose so that the docs could yank the stitches out. There is just no reasoning with a little girl who can't process medical procedures properly. Most kids go to their pediatrician but Adeline likes to keep it real and require a papoose, straight board and three adults when removing two measly stitches (one fell out on its own).
That's my girl!
