These two were taken when Aaron brought her home. The cut went all the way through! Aaron said that when they cleaned it with a stream of salt-water he could see it spraying through on the inside too. She ended up getting 4 stitches on the outside and one inside. They didn't have to sedate her but they had to put both her arms behind her in a pillow case then lay her on a board and strap across her arms and legs. She got 4 shots inside the wound to numb it. Aaron said she complained a bit but did a good job of keeping her head still. The fourth stitch must have hit a part that wasn't numb because she cried and kept saying "Ow hurt, owie hurt". He said the inside stitch hurt her as well. It took about 5 minutes to stitch her up and we go back in 5 days to have them removed. She's acting normal today and slept great last night. Poor baby!

SAD! Poor baby. I am glad she is feeling better. Luckily the mouth heals quickly and well :)
Your poor baby! It should heal well and quickly and I would be suprised if she even has a scar after time goes on. What a big girl. I would have had to have been sedated just to have been numbed! I am such a boob, I know the ER all to well! Keep us posted on her and give her a hug for me! Love you!
-K- I'm so pregnant b/c I'm totally crying as I'm reading about your little Joci crying for her mama. I know these things happen, but it hasn't happened to us yet, and I'm sorry you guys had to go through it... I'm glad she's doing better now, what a trooper! I heard you guys went to Lake Powell, are you home yet? Looking forward to some cute pictures!
