eyebrow wars
monday at the park, afton took a little roll down the playground equipment in such a way as it is not designed for. she managed to smash her eyebrow dead-center on the edge of a not-even-very-sharp stair leading to the little slide. it didn't look too bad til mom scooped her up and realized there was blood streaming down the right side of her face. with a little help from some friends and a stranger with a cell phone we got ahold of dad, picked him up from work (about 2 minutes from the park, fortunately) and we all went to the emergency room (mom was too shaky to want to handle it on her own, and fortunately dad was available). the er trip wasn't too bad, only about an hour and a half all together, and then afton was ready for nap time. she's been fine ever since (actually, she was really fine most of the time there too, she was done crying before we even picked daddy up from work).
it was also nice that they were able to glue her laceration back together rather than needing stitches... this should only leave a small scar, and it should be mostly hidden in her eyebrow.
cool.
