What's That......

...in her head you ask?

Oh go ahead, click and make it bigger and you can count them for yourself! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 STAPLES! Yep that's right, I said it, staples.

So, what happened?
That is exactly what I asked when I saw her head!

Yesterday our neighbor Heather watched Ambria and decided to take both her and her daughter swimming at the local pool. Well, at some point Ambria decided to do a flip in the water, and hit her head on the side of the pool cutting it open (it was quite the gash about 2 inches long).

After she hit her head she said it hurt but she soon forgot about it and kept swimming for another couple of hours. Later, at Heather's house, she reached back to touch it and saw it was bleeding at which point she freaked out! Heather washed her up and had her put some ice on it until I got home. Once I looked at it I knew it needed stitches.

So we spent the night at Instacare getting staples. Joy. Although they did put a numbing gel on her head she still felt the staples go in and cried pretty hard. I felt so bad for her. The process made me very nacious and I had to sit in the office for a minute to compose myself before I left. UGH. Ambria's dad came down to see her at the doctor and took her to icecream after.

The worst part about this whole ordeal is that in two days we leave for North Carolina where we have a gorgeous 6 bedroom beach house with our own private pool! Not to mention we are right ON THE BEACH. Ambria can't soak her head for 10 days until the staples are removed which will really limit what she can do on our trip. What a bummer. I am just glad she is ok. She is a tough little girl.
