Brooklyn took a little trip to the ER while we were in Kanab.
She was standing on a small wooden swing and tried to sit. She lost her balance and smacked her head on the concrete. 
At the hospital she was so brave! (with some help from her magic diamond)
She even smiled when the ER nurses came in to take her temp., her pulse ox, and then put some numbing gel in her wound.
30 min later they cleaned it and the doctor came in to staple it shut! She was a little scared of the doctor, he had no bedside manner, he even showed her the long needle he was going to use to make sure it was numb and told her to hold still or it could break off in her head! I'll let you imagine her excitement, but she held very still and survived!
You can tell why josh decided we better take her in. It bled a lot and when it stopped bleading we could tell how deep it was. It looks so much better closed! Much to my surprise she is doing so good, she hasn't told me it hurts once. I have said it before and I'll say it again "she is one tough cookie"

She must get the "tough cookie" gene from you, kara, cause I would have past out if one of my girls had a gash that size gushing blood from their head. Way to go! And where can I find some of those magic diamonds? Brilliant idea! I'm glad she's feeling better!
Well now I'm not the only one with bloody head wounds on my blog.
He really told her the needle would break off in her head if she moved. How can a guy with no brain make it through medical school. Way to go brookie that must be a powerfull diamond!
