Just wanted to give a quick update on Bekah and her cut above her eye. Last night, we got the girls tucked into bed. Bekah has recently started sleeping in the toddler bed in their room. Last night, after we prayed with them and turned out the lights, Bekah asked for a drink of water. I had already gone downstairs and her Daddy walked downstairs to get her a cup. As he was downstairs, Rachel began yelling that Bekah had bumped her eye. We both hurried back upstairs and sure enough, she had bumped her left eyebrow and split it open. She actually split her left eyebrow right in half. Apparently, her Daddy did the same thing on the corner of a picnic table when he was about four.
We checked her eye and it looked ok but when we looked at her eyebrow, we knew we were headed to get it checked then. So we headed to the ER. She took this pretty well. We got her checked in and her special bracelet (the admission bracelet).
Thankfully, when the doctor came in, after checking Bekah, he decided we could use the glue to seal her eyebrow instead of stitches. Bekah didn't have any idea what stitches are, Rachel was scared that Bekah would have to have stitches. So we all were very thankful that she did not have to have stitches but they could use the glue instead. This is just after the glue was put on. That was the only time she cried for about 2 minutes. She held very still and did everything they asked her to, though.
She told me on the way in to the ER that she didn't know if she could be brave. Yes, Bekah, you were very brave and a big girl! We are very proud of you and glad you are doing ok.
We got home and to bed around 4 am so these pictures are from this morning. She is doing well. We just have to remind her occasionally not to touch her eyebrow but she is even doing well with that. The glue will dissolve in 7 to 10 days and hopefully, her eyebrow will not have too much of a scar.
Thank you to each of you for checking on us and for your prayers for Bekah!
