on Friday Eliana was running across the living room and fumbled over her feet and ran straight in to our (soft, padded) recliner. She didn't even hit a corner. It was really surprising, she must have hit it with a whole lot of force because it split her pretty bad.
She was so brave to, I'm telling you... I have the strongest girls. She fell asleep on my lap around 9, and we didn't get back to a room until 2. I could barely move by then I was in so much pain, they brought a bed out to me to lay her down and then wheeled her back to the room. She continued to sleep until the DR came in and talked super loud and woke her up.
He meant well though, he wanted to make sure she knew what was going on and what he was doing. Which is awesome.
After he did the first staple he said "this will sting for a few minutes" and she boldly replied "well, it doesn't hurt me" and she laid still without needing any restraint for the next two staples as well. After they left she said it hurt a little and her little eyes were teary, but she said it was ok and not to bad. Oh, sweet girl.

why do they even still use staples?
wouldn't they have a replacement by now? like wouldn't glue be better? or just regular stitches? staples seem so harsh!
