Not a good evening

[valarltd]

The run went pretty well, but as I was leaving the last stop, I got a phone call from Bun.

"Jonner tripped Dollface! I can't get the bleeding stopped!"

It seems my baby was carrying a gallon pickle jar through the front hallway (stone paved, hardest floor in the house) when Jonner tripped her.

Bun did an excellent first aid job, but Dollface was still bleeding when I got home half an hour later.

I spent 3 hours in our local emergency room with a bleeding kid. I'd never actually SEEN subcutaneous fat before tonight. But Dr. O was a warm, careful lady from Nigeria who made my baby feel better.

Dollface has inherited Mudd's resistance to -caine drugs and the Lidocaine only kicked in at the last stitch. She has 3 stitches on the back of her arm, and two glued cuts.

She was very brave.

Thank God for Bun

Tell Dollface that I love her and am very sorry she had to go through all that.

I assume Jonner is punished until the End of The World?

Bun was so good. Her first instinct on seeing all the blood was "Call 911." Then she thought, "If everyone's screaming, everyone's alive." So she cleaned Dollface up, assessed the wound and called Mom instead.

I'm so proud of her. She did as good a job as I could have.

Jonner gets a lifelong punishment: knowing that scar on his beloved baby sister is his fault.
