Deep Cut

Very unexpected and terrible thing happened to the lil monkey today. While happily playing at the playground in the evening, she accidentally cut her right lil toe without noticing nor complaining of any pain. Until when everybody noticed blood coming out, then only realized and felt quite panic about it.

Well, accidents happened. But luckily with some basic first aid knowledge was still able to stop the bleeding. What would happened if she was left alone with the maid and my parents here...everyone was panicking and didn't know what to do at all...*sigh*

Anyway, after some washing and stopped the bleeding, took her to the nearby clinic to disinfect and covered the wound. It was 5mm deep according to the doc. Would have needed a stitch or two if it starts bleeding again by the next day. *hope and pray she doesnt' need one*

Lesson #1: always wear protected wear outdoors no matter where you are, what you're doing, etc ...especially little kids.

Lesson #2: always have enough stuffs in your first aid kits. got to HAVE a first aid kit in the house first though...

Lesson #3: DON'T PANIC!!~~ well, easily said than done, but this is the most essential skill to have while facing an emergency like this...nobody even thought about stopping the bleeding in the first place becos they were all busy panicking when she started crying...*gosh* oh and they only noticed how much blood she was losing...*duh* stop lah the bleeding since you know she HAS lost so much dee...*pengsan*

The worst thing was, becos I'm pregnant, I have to be even more calm and patient during this type of emergency. hahaha...IF I also panic, I could've sworn I would have to give birth right there and then...*touch wood* Anyway, I'm just glad that she's OK and back to her normal active "monkey" self (always have)...and to teach her a lesson how to be extra careful next time.
