An unforgettable Utah game! .... and for all those parents out there, you are so LUCKY to have Primary Children's so close to home. On Saturday my Dad and brothers went to the game so Carlee, the kids and I went over to a friends house for our own little tailgate party! Five minutes into halftime the kids were running around having fun when Kate went head first into the corner of the kitchen cabinet. It seriously sounded like someone threw a dumbell at the wall, thats how loud it was. By the time Carlee picked her up, i grabbed the car keys, threw her in her car seat, she had soaked through two towels full of blood .... poor baby. She was so scared and you feel so helpless. Although a dramatic car ride, we headed straight to Primary's and thankfully they got us right in. They are so amazing up there, after they applied a numbing agent a child specialist came in with a doll to show Kate what the doctors were going to do to her injury, it really makes the kids a little less scared ... well at least until they start. The doc's came in and explained the process, a local anaesthesia would sedate her enough to get the stitches in. They did however inform us that 1 in 100 cases, a child can react opposite to the anaesthesia .... well, enough said. Our little Katie was that 1 in 100. The only other option was to completely put her under through an IV. A Lane trait (my mom's side of the family) Kate along with the rest of us, has rolly veins. After 4 IV attempts and an extremely unhappy child .... she was out .... but not for long. She is such a fighter, she wanted nothing to do with sedatives. Four hours later, something that looked like a straight jacket (to hold her down), a strong mommy, an emotional aunt (i'm never having children), 10 million "hold you" (Kate's way of telling you to hold her), a queezy daddy (who came after the game and HATES blood), two layers of stitches, totaling 12 all together, our little baby was ready to go home!!!
before the tramatic episode .... they enjoyed several episod
es of Diego
my little baby before my nightmare began. ya know, they say the anesthia will make HER forget everything ... well i sure won't forgot, where was my anesthia? that was the worst thing to see her scared and in pain, i would trade her places in a second so she wouldn't have to experience that EVER again
the child specialist showing Katie Jane what they were going to do, BEST idea EVER!
i LOVE this picture!
waking up wondering where the heck was she and what the heck just happened ....?
you can't see her gash that well, but the close up was a little gory
