Ear Ow-ies




Every time I repeat this story it gets shorter and shorter so this is the shortest version. Yesterday Sydney fell somehow(not sure) and her ear split open all the way through and even broke the skin behind her ear. She was very brave the entire time. We weren't sure how bad it was until the doctors cleaned the area and realized the cartilage was completely cut through. She had to be sedated while they stitched her up. She is back to her playful self and still insists on climbing everywhere. I didn't realize I gave birth to a monkey but everyday she confirms that. She gets her stitches out next sunday morning. It looks like her and Mike Tyson had a fight and he's back to his old tendancies-biting ears.

I thought she'd been bitten by a dog at first. You can do that by falling?!

At least her teeth are clean as evidenced by the toothbrush in her hand. :o)

OWWWW That looks so painful. I'm glad she is so tough, you probably aged 10 years though!!

Oh my. That poor baby. That makes me so sad. I'm glad she is ok though.

I know exactly how you gave birth to a monkey. . .you were one yourself when you were Sydney's age! I can't believe she has so much "wreakage" from one fall. It looks so bad. Glad to hear she's feeling no ill-effects

Wow, that looks awful. You have a brave little girl. Sorry I looked at your blog through Jen! Your house in Colorado looks great. We are in Boise trying to find something to buy.

Poor little thing! My girls are monkeys too, hopefully we can by-pass being sedated for stitches in the ear though!!
