The Wride Family: First stitches!

July 29th, 2 days shy of being 9 months old Kam fell and split her eye open and had to get stitches. It was 9 o'clock at night and Kage and Ken just got out of the shower and was hungry. I was just walking back int the bathroom to get Kam so I could go get their pajamas on and feed them. Kam was standing up to the shower watching Troy. I was about 10 steps from her and she fell and hit her eye on a little marble edge. Of course once I seen the blood I started to freak out. Troy jumped out the shower with shampoo in his hair and soap all over him and he was trying to help but could not do much with the soap all over him. I tried to put a wash cloth on it to stop the bleeding but she did not want us to get near it. Kager was all upset and crying and so that made Ken upset so all 3 kids were crying it was one of those times you think is this really happening. Anyways we decide to take her to the hospital my sister meet us at the hospital to pick up Kage and Ken and bring them back home. When we got back to see the doctor he said we should put her out while he is stitching her up it cause it is right by her eye and he wants her to be very still. Since they were putting her out we had to wait for a respiratory therapist to get there and they had to hook her up to some monitors on her and so that took about an hour. Then they came in gave her the shot with the medicine to put her out they said it would only take about 60 second she would be gone. Well 5 minutes later she is still crying like crazy. So they wait for about 15 minutes and decide to give her another dose of it. After about 5 minutes after the 2nd dose she started to settle down a little bit but the doctor said he thinks that is as settled as she is going to get. She was in an other work but it still took a nurse Troy to hold her still. She had to have 6 stitches. It was so hard to watch her. After she was done they said the medicine would take about 2 to 3 hours to wear off. Well with her she was so restless and crying and her heart rate was high so they had to keep her until her heart rate came down. After about an hour after they did the stitches her heart rate was down but she was not her self they let us go home cause maybe her own bed would help her out. She fell asleep as soon as we started to drive home by this time it was 2:00 AM. The next morning when she got up she was so drugged up she could not even sit up . She was so funny you could tell she was in another world. She took a 5 hours nap that day to helped get all the drugs out of her system. Then we had to get them out 6 days later. She happened to go to her doctor for her 9 months check up so they took them out there. It was so sad. The stitches were so small it was hard for her to get them out. It was just as bad as putting them in but this time she did not have any drugs in her. Then after that she had to have her 9 month old shots. Poor little thing she has had a rough week. Now I never want to put her down I am afraid she is going to fall. I guess that is life but it is so hard to see your kids hurt.
