Yet another Drs visit with DD

3 weeks ago yesterday DD Olivia split her lip open and needed stitches. long story but in the end we opted not to. It is healing great.. Then on the Saturday she split her face open after coming off her bike, that just needed glue and required a Hosp visit as it was a Saturday afternoon..

THEN today I can't believe she did it again but she split her bloomin head open.. So another trip to the Drs and they gave me a choice.. Stitches or cut her hair a bit and glue. I opted for the glue.. Her hair is caked in blood. Her clothes she was wearing are soaked in blood all down the back . Gee head wounds bleed like anything don't they.

Anyone else got an accident prone child. the Drs just laughed and laughed when they saw her and said right it is now time for the bubble wrap :lol:

ps Olivia is just fine and dandy.. Already had a few tumbles since we got home.. She is just so active.

lol yes i have one of those to and it's not the one you'd think. My 2nd DS is not active but he is the one that has copped it. When he was a baby he walked behind his dad's hilux and whacked his head on the tow bar and split just above his nose. That required 4 stitches. During the 1st week of school he fell off the monkey bars and split his head open again. This time 7 stitches. Oh yes the head wounds bleed like buggery. He has broken his hand punching a chair and required 6 weeks in plaster and then had to check to see if he had done permanent damage.

The one that is really active hasn't had anything lol not fair is it.

Forgot to mention that DS2 also had asthma and now has type 1 diabetes

The receptionists at my drs all know us by name, they only rake my Medicare card because thy have too. We are always there because of one them is sick, has put something up there nose or jumped off something.

yep - DD1 was a regular at the Dr's :rolleyes:

But one weekend she went to hospital on the thursday morning for stitches in her forehead from climbing up a book case, then had her 12 month injections on the saturday. We thought she had enough bandages but then sunday morning she tipped my freshly brewed cup of coffee down herself :( So an ambulance ride to the closest hospital for a morphine drip and then a second ride to the childrens hospital for the burns to be assessed she came away with a bandage on her chest and two more on her arms.

We felt like the worst parents, even though lumpy seemed to be fine, she didn't want the bandages on so we got her a bear and put bandages on it where hers was. When her bandages were due to come off we took them off the bear. She thought it was a great game.

Hope you've managed to get through the last few days accident free Nic. I think my son will be an frequent visitor to the hospital. his latest adventure is to stand on the dining room table and spin round and round to make himself dizzy! I roused on him last night and he told me to SHUP (shutup, just in case you didnt work that out lol) and kept going little devil. If he doesn't hurt himself falling off the table, I will slap him upside the head if he tells me to shup again :rofl:

Oh gosh, she is really a rough and tumble little girl :hug:

I hope you all get a break from the Dr's and Hospitals very soon, take care and Miss O, a little less rough and tumble please ;)

well so far this week no more acccidents. but seeing as most of them happened on dh's night shifts lets see how we go in 2 days time :lol:

oh and woot she slept through the night last night

Ah Nic, what a time you've had lately :hug: I have always been worried about this happening with my two energetic boys. Who'd have thought you'd be having it with your little girl! I'm glad she's ok - the blood must have been really scary.

I really hope this is the end of the accidents for a while hun!

Funnily enough I didn't even panic :lol: I know head wounds bleed a heap. Ds2 fell over in t he backyard last year and bled everywhere for a cut that was half the size of Olivia's.. Dh is the one who hates the sight of blood so he freaked a little plus he had just been woken after night shift and was so not ready to see that..

Anyone know what to do about the glue they put on it? It seems well and truly stuck in her hair. Should I pull it out or try and wash it out when I wash her hair again?
