Ghastly day!!

Well it started really well. Kim and I took the dogs for a lovely walk and then I gave Taffy (the dog a wash). Kim and I were then going to go for a quick shop to get photos printed and get some papers so we could go scrapping tonight. That all came to a grinding halt when Emmy joined me in the shower. In a nut shell I got out to get dressed, she was still in washing herself with the pump soap. Next I hear her yell "finished", as I yell back "hang on, mumma help" I hear an almighty crash. She had slipped on all the bloody soap whilst trying to push open the big glass shower door. I rushed to her and checked and saw blood and thought she had split her lip, then as i grabbed her i noticed this huge gapping hole in her head. There was blood everywhere. As i scooped her up in the towel, she was screaming of course, I noticed the blood all over her face, in her hair, you get the picture. I rushed her downstairs yelling call an ambulance, no idea where anyone was. I laid her down grabbed some gauze from the first aid kit and held it to her wound. I wanted it fixed, and it was wide, and so i told Mark to call the ambulance, wasn't sure she would be settled in her car seat anyway. Anyway we ended up at Monash, and they decided because of the location it would be better done by plastics, so we had to then go to Dandenong Hospital, where plastics is based. They then couldn't get theatre time, and so wanted us to stay the night, so she could be done first thing in the morning. We ended up with overnight leave thank god, otherwise I would be going spare. have to go back by 7 am tomorrow for them to sew her up. They assured me that it would not make any difference to her healing. There is a chance she may have severed some nerve, but they won't know until she is older and can say it feels numb. She has been sooo brave. Hasn't cried since we went to hospital. She is pretty happy with her new Upsey Daisy talking doll she got as a treat. Now I know it is nothing serious and there could be alot worse things to happen. But for today it was our little drama / mini crisis.

So brave!
