Ouch....!

We're just back from the hospital, and Lola's sleeping to recover.
She fell this morning when she was playing at school, and I've been called because there was a big (not so wide, but deep) cut in her chin.
You could see both parts of the flesh hanging (faint)
And so much blood (sensitive part of the body I guess)!

So I took Lola quickly to the Emergency while Loup was roarrrrring in his push-chair and we had to wait there for a while because a special surgeon was required (the cut was really deep and not below the chin, more close to the mouth so the scar could be very visible later if surgery was not done by a specialist)

Lola's been really brave, she did not complain once, was as pale as a ghost but nodded sweetly when the surgeon explained her what will happen next. He told her that she was about to breathe some funny gas for a while and then she would feel asleep, that would be the sign that she would not feel pain anymore. Then he would take a needle (and I thought why the hell are you talking of THE needle to my baby! -shaking head-)and thread and will repair all that.
She nodded again, quietly, as pale as a sick ghost this time..

I could stay near during the surgery, Loup was getting wilder in my arms and it was not easy to keep him quiet. But all went ok.

We're back home now, she's sleeping, her chin will hurt badly when she wakes up :(

The strange process is that as a mama, I can feel all the pain she does feel! And it hurts!
Parenthood is not just fun huh ;-)

My poor baby!
