The Patient


Poor Rosey did indeed need stitches. I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid a fairly prominent scar. Needless to say, I'm sad for her. I wish I could do more to protect her. She feel into some door-hinge hardware at one year old, so this is her second forehead scar. I know the color will fade and then disappear, but a slight indention will probably always be there. Maybe she'll choose to wear bangs when she grows up. Her hair has grown very slowly, but I think there is finally enough to allow for some bangs. We'll have a beautician give it a try. She seems to have a high forehead like mine, so bangs are the best thing anyway.

The boys were alarmed and couldn't stop staring at her today. She didn't return from the ER until about 1 am, so they woke up to a surprise. Timmy was upset and kept saying, "That looks like it hurt."

She is such a great little sport! It really didn't appear like she paid it any mind today, except when the boys would walk up and study her.
