a quick update on Emma

Thanks so much for everyone's blessings for Emma's head.
She is fine, but not without a little drama.

She woke up fine the morning after our ER visit, but the knot had loosened (of course). The wound was opened but not bleeding. So we called the ER and argued and got transffered around the building the entire afternoon. Our pediatrician told us it was too late to get stitches or close the wound properly, and she gave us great instructions. Also, our friend (an RN) gave us the same advice but suggested we shave enough hair around the wound to make the strips stick and to keep the hair out of the wound. Our neighbor helped us get it all fixed up so that we wouldn't have to shave the hair and it's starting to look.....betterish. I was told someone from the hospital would review our case and call us back on Monday. So far everyone I've spoken with was compassionate. Keep your fingers crossed that they'll be sympathetic to our situation.
