EMERGENCY ROOM in Melbourne


We had our first official trip to the ER last night. I had always thought it would be one of the boys that would prompt such a trip, but Avery didn't want to be left out, so she beat them to it! While at the Quigley's last night, she tried to do a fancy backward pencil dive from the hot tub into the pool. She didn't gauge her entry right, and hit her chin on the edge of the pool, splitting her chin WIDE open.
BEFORE AND AFTER....no real stitches...instead, they used liquid stitches and essentially super glued the cut closed.
Needless to say, it was super late by the time we got back to the Quigley's, loaded everyone else in the car and headed the hour long trip back to St. Cloud.

Poor thing...she looks happy at least. And isnt the glue the best? Maddison had it on her head when she split it open. Hope she feels ok today!

Looks like she was VERY brave about it! Blake had to have 7 stitches his first visit. Thank goodness I didn't have to go to that one! Nana the nurse to the rescue! Hope she feels better!!
