My 8yr old nephew saved my 13 yr old niece this morning while their dad was at the gym and my sister had taken the dogs out for their morning poo. 😥
She got up and tried to make her lunch for day camp… 8yr old woke up to her screaming. 😱 She cut her hand. Badly. He brought her a roll of paper towels and her phone.
My sis got home minutes later… thought the kids had spilled a carton of juice on the kitchen floor. Totally dissociated, because it was a lot of blood. A lot.
Kid got 8 stitches.
@LPH6 my sister is a therapist. So hopefully they will have the toolkit to handle any residual emotional trauma. The other niece slept through the whole thing, thank goodness because she is the sensitive one.
@LPH6 also, as soon as they had stitched her up, she asked her dad to drop her off at theater camp 🎭
At least she has a very dramatic story for her friends.
@MotherDucker That’s a riot! Sounds like she is tough & talented!
@MotherDucker Wow… I’m glad she’s OK❣️
@MotherDucker Oh no!!! 😥 What a brave 8 yo. Oh my goodness. That's so friggin scary. I am so glad it sounds like she's going to be OK and that everyone managed the crisis well. I really don't know how doctors and nurses do it, I dissociate just thinking about that.
@MotherDucker Sounds traumatic! Glad your niece is stitched up! Not exactly a fun way to start the day!
