Call 911!

Well, it wasn't that bad, but it did involve a trip to the Emergency Room for stitches.
We were leaving Wal-Mart and I opened the door to the car, just as Jenna walked right into the corner. There was a lot of blood and the cut looked pretty deep, so I got her in the car (Jenna is screaming, as everyone in the parking lot looks over at us) and we headed over to the hospital. Lucky for us it was not busy and once Jenna was calmed down, I wanted to wipe off some of the blood so that I could get a closer look. Jenna refused - "Mom, the doctor going to check it!"
Once the doctor, an intern, and a nurse came, they wrapped her up in a sheet so that she couldn't move her body. Then the intern and nurse got ready to hold her head so that the doctor could apply the freezing. Jenna was a rock - she didn't move an inch nor did she shed a tear. The nurse even left the room, realizing that this was not going to be as bad as she thought. The doctor stuck her with the freezing needle 3 or 4 times. Then the doctor gave her three stitches and sent her on her way. And still no tears! I still can't believe it and if I wasn't there, I don't think I would believe how calm she stayed.
We got home and had supper and after supper she was off on her bike to help get the mail. She had a bath and then I gave her some special medicine (Tylenol) because I thought she might have a head ache. Once she climbed into bed, she was asleep in seconds. It definitely didn't seem to faze her.
The stitches come out next week. Hopefully, that process goes a smoothly as getting the stitches.
