6 Stitches For Last Day Being 6 Yrs. Old - 09/07/10

So the story behind it is Myla is going down the stairs feet first on her stomach in a sleeping bag. She is not all the way in the sleeping bag and slips out. She catches her toe on the molding and it rips her pinky toe away from her other toes. We take her over to the Emergency Room a few freeway exits down and this sweet, scared, brave girl waits. She was scared for them to touch it but we just kept distracting. My sister went and picked up Ethan from a neighbors house. It was nice to not have to worry about him.
