Fun Times at InstaCare

Madison has become a pro at going up and down the stairs in our house. The other morning we were getting ready to go to playgroup, when I heard a thud and then Madison began to cry. She had fallen off the last stair or two and landed on the doggie door cover (the cover that you put over the doggie door to trap the dogs outside). There is a sharp little piece that sticks out and her forehead landed right on it. It hardly bled and at the time it didn't look very deep. I put a band-aid on it and headed off to playgroup with the kids. I had a few of my friends look at it once we got to playgroup and they said it looked like it needed stitches so I headed off to Instacare. I thought here we go.....a four hour wait with a 15 month old was how I was going to spend my afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived, walked straight up to the counter, filled out paperwork for about 10 minutes and then they got me right in. NO WAIT!!! I couldn't believe it. They put some type of gel on Madison's head that was a disinfectant and it also numbed the area so they could then stitch it up. After waiting 15 minutes for the gel to numb the area, the doctor quickly looked at the cut again and decided to "super glue" it together. I'm sure they don't use actual super glue, but that's basically what it is. A week later and it is still glued and healing nicely.
