A little accident

April 22.
I had just got home with Kylynn from her soccer practice. Her and Jessie decided to go outside and play on the trampoline. They were getting along really well and have a fun time doing all kinds of tricks.
A little after 8 pm I was watching TV and suddenly I heard Ky crying and saying Mom help me. When I heard her my first thought was we have a broken bone. But when I saw her she had blood all over her face and dripping all over. I rushed her into the bathroom and got her all cleaned up, and found she had an inch long gash on her forehead. She kept crying that she didn't want stitches. I had to explain that there was nothing else we could do but get stitches.
When we finally got the girls called down we found out that Jessica was doing a front hand spring, Ky bent down to pick up her hair elastic, had the thought she needed to move because something was going to happen but she didn't move. Somehow Jessica's knee found Kylynn forehead and cut it open.
I took her into community care where we had to wait for a long time. They had tried to numb it with a lidocaine gel but it didn't work. She cried and cried when they have her the shot. She was very brave and laid still. In the end she got 2 stitches under the skin and 6 on top. I told the doctor that I would take the stitches out myself in 3-5 says but Kylynn informed me she didn't want me to take them out because she doesn't trust me. That made me feel really good.
She  thought she looked so funny with her eye swollen, blood in her eye and the stitches she wouldn't go to school on Thursday. She was afraid the other kids would laugh at her. I decided to let her stay home and we went to grandma Erikson house and she sewed her skirt.

Ky and her stitches

Ky's broken blood vessel in her eye. She has less of a black eye then I thought she would.
Jessica had felt so guilty for causing the accident. Ky wanted to buy her a treat to let her know it was all right and she forgave her.
I hope Ky learned that when she has a prompting that she needs to do something she will heed it.
