Our first major injury

And really it was pretty minor!
10 days ago (I know it takes me forever to keep you updated!), Olivia was trying to cut open a bag of candy...with a steak knife...and cut her finger. I don't know if I have ever seen arterial bleeding before, but it was kind of neat. She can get her stitches out today, but she may have to wait until tomorrow, because we won't be seeing Uncle Clay today, and he is the one who is going to remove them for her!

It is great having a registered nurse as an uncle. For her, because she is not nearly as worried about it hurting if Uncle Clay is going to do it, and for me, because I don't have to sit at the medi-centre for 400 hours!

Uncle Clay was going to remove them last night when everyone was here for birthday cake, but I told Olivia she should wait. Poor Sarah was too sick to even keep her eyes open, and that is the kind of thing she would really love!

Anyway, now you know.............don't use a steak knife to open a Hallowe'en sized bag of Swedish Berries!
