*MAREN'S STITCHES*








I received a phone call at work again from Jay saying that he was going to Children's Mercy South and that Maren had another accident. She fell going up the stairs and hurt her chin. Once I got there, Maren was sitting calmly holding her chin until they called our name to go in. The doctor said she would need stitches and put ointment on her sore to numb it. While we waited a nurse came in and showed Maren exactly what was going to happen, the string that they were going to use and the syringe that was going to clean her wound. They even let her use a DVD player to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks Shipped Wreck while we waited. Once, her chin was numb the nurse flushed her booboo and the doctor stitched her up. Jay told her he would give her $20 if she sat completely still through it all, so she sat on her hands the whole time and earned her $20!
