Kristin's Stitches

For the first time in 13 combined years, one of our kids’s ended up in Urgent Care for stitches.

After gardening with dad, Katy and Kristin decided to take a shower. Mom and dad came back into the house as Katy was yelling that Kristin had been hurt. Usually this means a small cut or bruise but this time Kristin came down the stairs with blood streaming down her face and chest. Apparently she slipped and did a face plant on the shower floor while reaching down to pick up the soap.

The doctor at Urgent Care proclaimed that if they gave out awards for stitch bravery Kristin would win. She was a real trooper and did not cry or protest as she received 3 stitches on the outer lip and 5 stitches on the inside lip. The doctor told her that a large, heavily tattooed man had been in for stitches earlier and cried like a baby.
