ouch! my head!

during the last week, we've had incidents involving head wounds with the kids.

head wound #1. hania fell down from her perch and hit the back of her head at the edge of the table, and had blood splattered on her t-shirt. trying to find the wound so that we could stem the bleeding was a challenge, what with her screaming, and of course the parents not quite calm -- hoping it was just nothing while thinking the worse. we found a one-inch gash, not quite so deep now but it looked bad then. we took her to the dr and alhamdulillah by then the bleeding had stopped, and it wasn't really that deep to require stitches.

head wound #2. the same day, at night, amjad came looking for some ice to put on his head. turned out he had a bump on his head. when wasked what happened, he said 'abang jalan je, lepas tu jatuh.' ok, fine. turned out his 'jalan' was this -- while playing 'power rangers' he was taking steps to high kick aqeel, and he lost his balance then.

head wound #3. hania had a boil on her head (???).

head wound #4. while playing, the older ones accidentally knocked down najwan, who then lost his balance and bumped his head at the edge of the tv bench. he got a nick right in the middle on his forehead.

alhamdulillah, they're all surface wounds. cuts and scratches are parts of childhood, but I wish they're much more farther apart than this.
