Campbell Family: Jordyn’s Adventure

As some of you already know, Friday night Jordyn got it by a dog. She’s been quite the trooper throughout it all though. When we went to pick the girls up after it had happened and they had her all cleaned up with a bandaid over it, Corey was carrying her to the TrailBlazer and slipped on the ice, hitting Jordyn’s face on his shoulder and popping the whole thing open again. The poor girl looked like she had been in a car accident with blood covering her face and sitting in her eye.

Saturday morning I took her into the doctor while Corey took Shaylynn to Mahoney to play with the Koseks. Dr. Manning thought that we should probably put a couple stitches in there just to pull the gap shut so she didn’t have quite as big of a scar after it heals. Unfortunately it was just a nurse, the doctor and the front desk lady working so I had to help hold her arms down as she put a big long needle just below her eye to numb it. She kept crying, owie, Mommy, owie Mommy. It made me want to cry too :( She did excellent though. We had to wait at Walgreens for her antibiotic to get filled and she picked out a stuffed puppy. On the way home she said, “Mommy, cheek hurts"” so we stopped, I gave her some Motrin and then we continued on. She fell asleep about Eagle and we headed up to Mahoney. I know that she didn’t know she was missing out but I mentioned “Boo Boo” (Niki) to her and she was so excited to see her. I also figured that at least with the stitches, surely the whole thing couldn’t pop open again this way. By the end of the night, she did say it was “itchy” so she took a bath and was ready to just lay back and chill.

She gets her stitches out tomorrow…she’s very excited. We’ve been putting Vasaline on them to keep it moist so hopefully they won’t hurt so bad when they pull them out tomorrow. Today was the first time she didn’t cry and fight me to put it on too!

Here’s some pictures to see the healing!
