Abigail's owies

Last week Abigail was walking home from the bus-stop and our neighbor's puppy got a little excited.... she jumped on Abigail's back and knocked her face-first into the gravel. She cut both her lips and her gums, scraped her forehead and nose. We made an emergency visit to the dentist to make sure there was no permanent damage. The dentist said everything is okay and it's a good thing that Abigail didn't have any front teeth! Here's a picture a couple hours after it happened. The swelling went down pretty fast... thank goodness for ice packs! She still has some scrapes on her forehead and nose that are taking time to heal.

Owie #2: On Sunday night, she cut her first finger on her left hand on a folding chair. I will spare you all the gory details, but we had to use steri-strips (thank you Uncle Robert.... or should we say Dr. Robert) and are keeping those on her finger for awhile. (No picture of the finger... you really don't want to see it!)

Hopefully this will be it in the owie department for awhile. One thing I learned about Abigail, is she is tougher than I thought, probably tougher than her mommy! She has been a real trooper through all of this!
