KDquilter Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Kristina: My son was bit by a dog in the forehead and eye when he was 8 years old, so I know how you're feeling. He never was and still isn't afraid of dogs, I would have been (lol). The plastics guy we went to suggested putting a little pressure on the scar and gently messaging it to keep it soft. Keep it moist and don't let a scab form cuz that'll make it scar more. Good Luck - she is so adorable no one will even notice the scar, and if they do, well she'll have a great story to tell!!! God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Kristina, I'm so happy for your family that all is working out. A van is waiting somewhere just your family. Cheryl is beautiful and her smile, oh my, could melt anyone's heart. Her scar will surely heal just fine. reminds me of Harry Potter's scar, just missing the top of the "Z". Give Cheryl and exrta hug for me. You and family continue to be ib my prayers! ((((( hugs ))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 His back is still sore...getting some relief though. He can tell he is on the mend. Tried to pick up our 3 year old yesterday...can't be doing that just yet. Disks are compressed and inflamed. Thanks for the kind words on cheryl. I will post a new picture today. She looks better all the time. That smile and eyes are going to cause us trouble down the road I am afraid. She is too darn beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 What a beautiful little girl! Hopefully, the scar will fade in time, but if it doesn't, nothing can mar the beauty of a kid like that. Linzi's right - Harry Potter has one of those too!

mswings Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Kristina, Cheryl is a beautiful child. She looks quite spunky. That scar doesn't seem to bother her at all. And it shouldn't. Hope evreryone is healing as quickly as possible. I'm so glad everyone is home now safe and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My internet has been down for a few days, and just now getting to check the forum. Kristina, so glad you and your family are okay. I tell my kids and husband we don't need extra "stuff" in the car when we travel, just in case of an accident like you described.

witha'K'quilting Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Funny thing happened this morning. My 9year old son told his 14 year old sister that she would turn heads at school because she looked so nice today (she curled her hair). Cheryl asked if she would turn heads...and he said she would because she was the prettiest girl in school. He is such a doll...no wonder all the girls like him. good thing he said that without his 7 year old sis in the room. my kids certainly know how to make each other feel special! Gotta love that.

JustSewSimple Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Gosh, how cute. Those eyes are beautiful! You know, when that thing heals she might not have anything but just a tiny character line. Glad she is doing so well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 What a beauty! Gotta love that positive attitude your family has, dealing with so much this past year, from your son's diabetes, to this scary accident happening. Take care and prayers to you all.

witha'K'quilting Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 yes, Linda, it was a difficult 2010...but we are still here together as a family. Sven is doing well. He lost his insulin in the wreckage but the hospital replaced it for him so he could go about his normal routine while waiting for Cheryl to be released. He was a bit scared thinking he would have to be admitted to be taken care of...but the hospital was very understanding. He maintains his diabetes well...he just needed syringes and insulin to continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Kristina, your children are beautiful, and especially their hearts. I know it is a true reflection of you and your husband. I sincerely hope that this year brings new joys for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 That will be a great scar, way better than any I managed. I suspect Sylvia is right it will heal to a very faint line. I hope you will get a quieter few months now. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATST Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Kristina - so happy the accident turned out better than it could have -- the Lord truly is there. Cheryl is so cute -- those eyes. At her age there won't be much of a scar anyway. You have a wonderful family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Oh my. I've been away for a few days. I didn't realize what you've been through Kristina. I'm thankful that everyone is going to be ok. You are so blessed. Cheryl is a cutie patootie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
