Well, I honestly didn't think that the first stitches would be on Abby's beautiful little face, but here they are. We had just returned from a nice little walk around the block to our neighbor's house. It was such a beautiful afternoon. Zach hit his tennis ball so well and WHAM! Abby was at just the right place to catch the follow through right in the face! We were loaded in the van and to the Dr. within 5 minutes. She had decided when we got there that she was "all better, I don't need to go to the hospital."( more like HOPspital) Our Doc decided to send us to the ER in the event she needed sedated in order to get it stitched pretty. She was such a trooper and a blessing to all of the staff. She (and mommy) did get very sad and scared when they did the numbing shots and the stitches. Unfortunately she felt the last one. She is doing very well today.
Little Zach made sure that he told EVERYONE that he hit her with a tennis racket, but it was an accident.
The most bizarre part of the night was that about 30 minutes after we got to the ER. In walks our neighbor, the same one we had taken the walk to see. She was bringing her almost two year old little girl in for a head lac. on the eyelid!!!! We, after our 3 hour stay, ended up in the discharge room at the same time. How weird! I told her that next time I would much rather meet for coffee or a playdate!

Ouch!
Ouch is right. I didnt expect it to be Abby either. Expected it would be Zach the advernturer! My guess is he will have the most and the most awesome scar before all is said and done. Aunt Becky
