Nurse Mom.

So, I super glued my first split laceration this evening. (Shelly, is that right? I learned that term on Wikipedia.) Audrey was roller skating in the kitchen and now sports a shiny new inch-and-a-half-long cut above her eyebrow as a result of an unfortunate collision with the table. Sorry, no pictures. The cut was clean and straight, albeit a little deep, but hardly bled at all. I was going to run her down to be stitched but Justin wasn't home so I instead decided to forgo the four to five hour emergency room visit for something less traumatic. This didn't sting or hurt and involved no needles (sewing or otherwise). And we were done and bandaged in a matter of minutes. I held the laceration together and applied krazy glue over the top of it. I continued to hold it while it dried and when done it really seemed to be as good as new. I put a couple of steri strips over the dried glue for good measure and added a littlest petshop bandaid for fashion, and tada - we were done!

Okay, now bravado aside, I'll go to bed tonight hoping I did the right thing and I'll probably have nightmares about infections and scar tissue. Sigh. But she seems to be sleeping well and her pupils dilate, so I guess she's probably fine.
