By the time we had got there the bleeding had pretty much stopped but I thought I'd just get her checked out just in case. She ended up having a breastfeed in emergency so I was pretty confident that it wasn't too painful. I can tell you now that I have never been so grateful to still be breastfeeding! It's provided Esme with some much needed comfort today, as well as nutrition since she hasn't been able to eat much.
Anyway, we got in to see the Doctor pretty quickly who assured us that it was all ok and wouldn't need any stitches (thank goodness!) He told us it was in a really good position to heal well and that he wouldn't put any tape or anything on it because she would most likely just pull it off. We left with instructions to come back in the morning if the wound was gaping (really nice imagery there!!) or we had any concerns. Luckily, it has all looked fine this afternoon and seems to be well on it's well to healing. Esme, of course, has been fine and has been pretty much her usual happy self (apart from a few more comfort feeds than usual understandably!) She's such a little trouper, she had her immunisations yesterday too so has put up with a lot in the two days!! Like I said before though, I'm sure we'll be back to the ED sometime soon ;)
Just after we arrived home from hospital (still with blood all over her!)
What it looked like by the afternoon (photos don't do it justice!)
