A rough day at school

I received a phone call from the school nurse today. She informed me that Savannah had split open her chin and most likely was going to need stitches. I got to the school as quick as I could and found her in tears. Savannah said that she was walking out to recess when a bunch of boys ran past her, cut in front of her and caused her to trip. Unfortunately, it happened so fast, that she didn’t have a chance to brace herself, which caused her to fall face forward onto the pavement, cut open her chin and bruise her knee. I took Savannah into the Urgent Care Center this afternoon. The cut on her chin was deep enough to stitch, but the doctors worried that stitching it up would cause it to scar even worse. They decided to glue it shut. Savannah was also complaining that her knee was hurting. They did an x-ray and nothing was broken, but her knee is pretty bruised. Savannah is feeling really sore tonight. I am trying not to be mad, but do feel a little angry that kids can be so careless. It’s too bad that she will most likely have a scar to remember this day.
