Mallory smacked the top of her head on a metal bar at a kids' indoor playground. Mallory, Eva and her friends came screaming to me that she hit her head. Blood was oozing everywhere. Her head and face were covered in it. I can't really remember all that happened next. All I could think about was trying to keep calm and put pressure on her head. There was so much blood I couldn't tell where the cut was. It took a while of cleaning before I could find the spot. Luckily it wasn't very big and the bleeding seemed to be stopping. The direct pressure and the ice seemed to be working. But it was a bloody mess. Her hair and my arms were red with blood. It was quite traumatic for both of us.
Luckily, my friend and her kids just happened to be there that afternoon, too. She was a big help with my other kids and my sanity.

I headed down to the emergency room and planned to meet Stephen there. But since the bleeding had stopped and the cut was only about a 1/4" long we opted for performing the "surgery" ourselves in the Safeway parking lot with super glue.
The super glue seems to be holding and her spirits are up. I hope this never happens again. Never, ever, ever.
