Shirley managed to cut herself badly on a broken glass while doing the dishes. I got a frantic phone call to come home to take her to the doctor.
After cleaning and cauterising the wound, 7 stitches were made and a bandage put on her hand.
This is not the 1st time we have had this emergency, the last time was only 3 stitches.
Hopefully this is the last doctor’s visit for the year!
Kayra was playing on a table outside when, somehow, the whole lot took a tumble. Kayra fell head first onto the cement tiles. Needless to say she had an immediate egg that came up on forehead. And lots of crying!
Luckily nothing was broken. We have spent far too much time at dentists/doctors this month!
By Friday all the liquid from the bump moved down to her nose. So she looked like an extra for Avatar! Blue eye and all.
We left early Saturday morning for Mentors kraal outside Jeffrey’s Bay. We had to be there at 8am, which meant we had to leave at 7am, which meant we had to start the process at 5am.
The setup was very professional and the girls did well. It was there last competition in the fun gym level. They now move up to level 1.
They did the hoops and ropes routines. Each got a silver and gold in each routine. They also loved their new club costumes.
Ouma and oupa came through from St Francis Bay to watch them compete. The girls were thrilled to see them.
The fun and level 1 session ended just before 11. We stayed on to watch a bit of the level 6 and above session. All Jorja wanted to do was copy the routines. So we had a time keeping her off the floor.
After that we went through to St Francis for the afternoon and then drove back to Port Elizabeth late in the afternoon.
Last year Kayra had a hole on her right, back, lower molar. The dentist filled it and guess what, she now had an abscess. So off to the dentist again! He tried a root canal, but the infection was too spread, so the molar was pulled. She now has a gaping hole that hopefully will grow closed soon!
Kayra really did well, she didn't moan a bit during the 1/2 hour procedure.
We couldn’t put the tooth out on Friday night because she wanted to show ouma and oupa on Saturday. So it was only put out on Saturday night, and guess what? The tooth mouse/fairy came and took it away and left her some money.
So its that time of the year again! Kayra is now 1.14m and weighs 20kg. Jorja is now 1.03m and weighs 17kg.
