Macayla hit her chin last week and split it open which prompted an ER visit (see below). Last night, she was crawling and I was right there with her and she fell again. It opened up a little bit of the cut again. I put gauze on it and with the use of some bandaids, held it in place under her chin. She soaked the gauze in blood. I replaced it and slowly but surely it became soaked as well. I decided that we would run to the ER since it would not stop bleeding, but Jenny brought home some special glue that would hold Steri-strips in place. (These are just special pieces of tape made to hold skin together.) 24 hours later, the strips seem to be holding in spite of drool, drinking and eating. So, for now, no ER.
