My Poor Baby

My poor baby had an accident at home on Monday. :( She ran into a wire fence running away from some dogs that came into our yard. I have no idea who's dogs they were or where they came from. She banged up her face pretty badly and busted her lip. I about lost it and started freaking out myself. It just broke my heart. All i saw was blood on her face and hands, so i rushed inside to take a better look at how bad the cuts were, I washed all the blood off and could tell that her cuts were not deep enough to need stitches. All i kept thinking was OMG...My baby girls face....I put Neosporine on it and then put her in the car and rushed her to the Doctor. The Doctor said she didn't need stiches but wanted to put some stery-strips under her eye to help heal the cut.  She also prescribed her some Antibotics so she wouldn't get an infection and an ointment to be applied to the wounds. By the time we were out of the Doctors office and waiting for the prescriptions Ariana was back to her normal self and acting like nothing had happened. She was doing great. It was just the cuts and scrapes on her face that looked horrible. I told her she could stay home from school the next day, but she insisted on going and was crying because she didn't want to miss out on the fun day they were supposed to have including having the parents eat at school with them. The doctor did say it was ok for her to go to school so i went ahead and sent her. She has been doing great, even had dance practice last night. The cuts and scrapes are healing way better and faster than i thought. I'm so scared of scarring on her face so i'm going to be sure to treat that with the correct stuff. I've been told Mederma for kids works wonders, so that is what i will be trying. I read that it could take 8 weeks to work, but i don't care anything is worth trying to help keep scars away from my princess' face. Below are some pictures
