Only Hadassah!!

Monday evening while I was cleaning up a broken glass in the kitchen Hadassah came running through and stepped on a pretty good sized piece. I lifted up her toes and could see the bone. I knew it was serious. As fast as humanly possible my Mom and I gathered up the kids and ran her to the ER. My brother Kenny met us there and kindly took Gena, River and London to his house to play. By the time I got into registration she had stopped crying and I think I was more freaked out than she was.
She let the nurses and doctors do whatever they wanted and never once complained or cried. I think maybe because they gave her popsicles, stickers and things to color with!!
The cut was so deep and so close to the bone and when she clenched her toes her middle one wouldn't move. They took X-Rays to make sure that her middle toe bone wasn't broke or cut. She had cut through the tendent but her bone was fine.
They cleaned off her foot, bandaged it up, set up an appointment for her to see the foot surgeon the following day and sent us home.

She LOVED the bandage they put on her foot! We went and picked up the kids from my brother's house and they were all so excited to see her doing good.... and of course she loves the attention!!! When we got home all of the kids babied her making she she was okay and that her leg was propped up. It was cute to see how gentle the 3 of them were with her.
Yesterday I took her into the surgeon's office and he put in 4 stitches. She cried only for a minute when he stuck her with the numbing needle. Other than it being difficult to keep a 3 year old from getting up and walking around she has done extremely well. I think she's the toughest little girl in the world!!
She will get the stitches out in 2 weeks. For the time being we need to just keep her off it for a few days and not let it get dirty.

Oh, and the big joke is..... "Hadassah must have her own personal suite at the hospital because she spends so much time there!". Seriosuly, If something happens to anyone, it's always Hadassah!!
