Worst Night Ever.

So. Sunday evening, I'm talking on the phone to my friend Sydni, and Makayla is toddling around. She falls, onto a garbage bag, and starts to cry. I get off the phone with Sydni, and Makayla is starting to scream/cry even louder. Tanner picks her up, and blood is gushing EVERYWHERE. She had fallen onto an aluminum can lid, and sliced in between her big toe, and part way down her foot. I rush her to InstaCare, and about 2 hours later, with 10 stitches, we finally got her foot to stop bleeding. Honestly, it was the 2nd worst experience of my entire life. Makayla had to be completely strapped down, and could only move her hands. She kept trying to reach for me, but there was nothing i could do but hold her hand...she screamed the whole time, but only because she was being restrained..She seems to be doing okay, she is walking around, and doesn't seem to be bothered by it. We had to change the bandage today, and she screamed...its going to be a long 8 days before she gets them out..but at the same time, I am blessed and so thankful that it wasn't any worse than stitches, and her foot is the best place to be hurt. It sounds weird, but if it had been on her arm, or anywhere else, there is no way she would leave the bandage alone.
