Daughter head injury

My 20 month old daughter was running in her bedroom and tripped. She caught the bottom of her dresser and split her head just over her eye in her eyebrow line. At first it was an immediate goose egg but then the blood started gushing. It was about an inch long and deeper than a paper cut for sure. My wife and I in a panic rushed her to the local emergency room thinking stitches were coming.

To our surprise my daughter was playing about 15 minutes of injury while my wife and I were still shaken from the experience.

At the emergency room it took a little while to get back but once back in the curtain drawn privacy room they cleaned her gash and used a glue instead of stitches. Dermaglue.

It looks like grape jelly on her eyebrow. The glue will wear off in about a week and should rsult in hopefully no scarring.

The trauma to us was unbelievable. The Emergency Room copay was $100.
