Well, She Needed Stitches

 Tonight Shekinah was tagging after the biggers and decided to imitate them when they sat down on the "bridge sides" on out driveway...except she didn't stay sitting she needed to look down over the other side and lost her balance. She fell 3-4 feet down and hit a rock or something...The girls both came running to me leaving Joe to figure out if he could manage to maneuver through the brush down to her. Thankfully I was outside already, so I heard and understood the screaming. She was walking out of the ditch with Joe's help and screaming and bleeding.
Three hours later she was the proud owner of 3 stitches that were applied with NO TEARS!  They used something called LET to numb it, it took 20 minutes of holding a cotton ball in place, but it was effective and she didn't flinch when they stitched...I, quite frankly, fully expected her to need to be held down while she rattled the rafters with her screams.
Praise the Lord for that new invention and the fact that dad has off from work tomorrow, as he got to bed after 11 PM...way past his bed time...mine too.  Good Night
