Head wounds

This last few weeks was rough for Rachel.  She ended up with two head wounds.  The first one came at the JT family reunion.  She decided this huge dog would make a great pillow.  Well needless to say the dog wasn't happy that Rachel hurt her as she was getting off of her.  She swatted her big huge paw at Rachel and cut her head open.  We were in the woods so Scott just super glued it and then used part of the hair as stitches.
Not bad for being in the woods.
Then it was six weeks later and I got a phone call from Scott saying I needed to go get Rachel because she got hurt at school.  So I headed over there and had no idea what I was walking in to.  Thankfully there was a friend from the ward sitting there holding Rachel and comforting her.  I took this picture to send to Scott. 
He said he couldn't tell really what was going on but go to the clinic.  So I headed straight to the clinic and said Susie please help.  We took her to a room and started to clean up her head.  Susie was like yep she's going to have to get staples.  While we waited for Scott we were trying to figure out what happened.  All she could say was that she fell off the monkey bars.  Scott got there right after we got it cleaned up and she needed some staples in her head.  So I held her while Scott gave her the shot to deaden the spot.  Oh boy she screamed bloody murder but other then that she was a complete trooper and hardly cried at all through it. 
7 stitches later it's all put back together.  She did had a giant goose egg that went along with it.
Side Note:  Once Rachel's thoughts stopped being all mangled she was able to tell us that she was crawling down head first on the spider web and slipped.  She thought oh I'll just drop down to the ground and my knees will hit the ground first.  She didn't get flipped around and landed right on her head.
