Breanna gets stitches

Our dear sweet Breanna was spinning away, dancing having a wonderful time when she lost her balance and rammed right into the sub woofer.  She has been so patient and good about the whole situation.  She just amazes us!!  
I am so grateful for how the spirit works.  Just before she hit her head she said; "Watch this"  That very moment the spirit told me that she was going to split her head open.  I was across the room so I couldn't prevent it from happening, but when I looked at the wound I was able to keep calm and grab what we needed to dash out the door.  Most importantly, I was able to keep calm to help Breanna.  (Normally in emergency situations I freeze and become a statue.) We held a cold rag on it til we got to the emergency room.  All the nurses were so good about helping her feel comfortable. 

We were going to choose the glue over the stitches, but the doctor said she felt for this case, it would heal better with the stitches. Breezie held so still, everyone was impressed.  I was singing primary songs to her. After we left the hospital, she said; "That was fun."  Oh my goodness this girl!  She is too good.

Today, it was all about her.  We watched a movie.  Played computer games with her, colored, painted nails, gave her treats.  We have little surprises planned each day until the stitches come out. She also gets to go to the movies after the stitches come out (in 5 days) and if she is really good about not touching it- which she has been awesome with so far -I'm taking her to little man's ice cream shop, which happens to have a very large slide too.
