Super Glue is a Miracle Worker

Before I get too far into this post, I have to tell you that we lost our camera. Yes, we were at the Fourth of July Rodeo and some where amongst all the barrel racing and bucking we lost our camera. Actually, it was Saige's camera we lost cause our camera has a chip in the lens and the screen on the back is not working (grrr!!!). So besides loosing the camera we also lost our pictures from the event, which is what I am most heart-broken about. So that is why there have not been posts about my girls swim meets, or the rodeo or anything else. But when this event happened, the one I am about to tell you about, I decided I better just use my broken camera and get some pictures. SO............. Yesterday I took the three oldest to our float practice (the kids are on the float for Saturday's celebration of July 24th and they needed to know what they were doing). So while I was gone with them, Blake took Summit and Sedona out for a bike/scooter ride. Well, at the end of our street there is a bit of a hill and then the road turns to the right. Summit was up ahead of Sedona and he got going pretty fast on his scooter and started getting really close to the turn. Well, Blake could not see if there was a car coming and kept trying to yell to Summit to slow down. Of course what kid wants to slow down???? Speed is what it is all about and parents are just trying to ruin the fun, right? Anyway, so Blake ran up to Summit to get him to slow down. Meanwhile, Sedona came to the hill and she started going fast. By the time Blake turned around she was really picking up speed. Unfortunately she does not understand how to stop on her bike. So sure enough just before Blake got to her she hit a dip in the road and went right over her handlebars and face planted in the rocks on the road. Blake brought her home and got her cleaned up and put some band-aids on and she was set. But before Sedona went to bed I took a quick look at it. She had a bit of a gash in her head, as you might imagine, and a small rock still lodged in her head (imagine David and Goliath, just on a smaller scale, with the rock just totally stuck). So I got the rock out and decided that the gash needed to be closed up. I remember a couple of my friends telling me that they had closed up some wounds with Super Glue, so I figured I would give it a try.






Now the question I have is, how long does the Super-Glue stay on and do I ever need to re-apply it?


By the way, Mom & Dad, it was not to the bone so it was not as bad as mine.
