Anna is getting close to 8 years old!
I’m thankful that Anna’s neighbor friend had the presence of mind to run for help when Anna cut her leg on the barbed wire.
I’m thankful for kind neighbors who carried her home.
I’m thankful that the urgent care was open to stitch Anna up. (they were locked up when we left)
I’m thankful that the doctor and the nurse were patient and kind.
I’m thankful that the pharmacy was open to fill Anna’s antibiotics prescription to fight possible infection. (they locked up while we were in there too)
I’m thankful that a frightened heart was encouraged by a $1.49 caramel steamer from Starbucks and the memory of doing it before with her Grammy.
I’m thankful for a husband who held down the fort and had hot waffles ready when we got home.
Anna’s cut was just shy of 5″ long and needed 19 stitches. It took eight novocaine shots to numb it and that was really hard… Anna is amazing. Love her. Phew. First set of stitches ever for anybody in our family, including Brian and myself.
Four days after stitches:
The outside of her right leg.
Things like this are hard on parents!! Glad you were able to get the help you needed.
We’re grateful that she recovering. She was very brave today. Hopefully it will become just a small childhood memory over time. Elli and Brody don’t have school tomorrow so they made cards to bring over to Anna.
Poor Anna, but glad that she’s okay. And just so you know, Mederma really does work to reduce the appearance of scars (part of the reason Emilia’s heart surgery scar is so light). And lots of sunscreen on it in the summer, especially this first summer coming.
