My poor girl...

Riley was hurt yesterday at school. The morning started with Riley coughing and not feeling very well. I am all for kids staying home if they are sick. Well about 30 min. after her brother and sister left she was running around and playing so I decided "To school you go!" I drove Riley to school, and went on my merry way to my organizers meeting. "Ring Ring" on the other end is the principal of the kids school. "Hi Moriah, Riley was in an accident at school today, she is going to need stitches." My heart just sank I think hearing that your children are hurt almost hurts us as parents more then them. I rush out of kiddoz, and drive to Riley's school. To find her and her sister sitting on the nurses bed. The nurse removes the bloody bandage and underneath is this huge gash on her forehead. On the other bed is poor Hunter with an eye patch over his eye. I guess Riley and Hunter were both running about 2 min into their morning recess, and Bamm they just ran head face into one another. I guess all the blood drained out of my body and I was white because the secretary offered to drive us to the doctors about 5 times...LOL. Well, Riley was a very brave little girl they put some blue numbing stuff on it for about 20 min, and then put a few needle shots in the cut before stitching it up. She didn't move her head at all. All you could see was one lonely tear falling from her eyes. She is feeling much better today a headache but much better. We took our first shower to clean the blood out of her hair, and we removed the bandage and she saw her 7 stitches. I think it scared her a bit because she wanted that bandage put back on right away. I couldn't even convince her to take a picture for memories. What an ordeal the scary part of being a mom is getting that phone call from someone saying your child has been hurt.
