We spent a couple hours at the ER late this afternoon for Ella's nose. We were reading books on the bed and she reached too far for one and fell right off the bed onto her face. To Lahrissa's credit, she did try to catch Ella, but she was standing so that Ella landed on her nose rather than her shoulder or back (Ella's gotten very good at tucking or combat rolling as she falls often - she's got my clumsy genes for sure!) Anyway, she was hysterical, and the bridge of her nose started to swell like crazy. I was in a panic thinking that she might have broken it but once she calmed down, and I stopped the few blood drops, it was apparent she didn't. Though what to do about this swelling?By the time we left the ER, she was fine, the swelling was almost gone and I feel stupid for sitting around for 2 hours. The doctor said she might have a black eye, but all is well. Ella did suffer some rug burn from her fall under her nose. The doctor offered to give me a head-trauma pamphlet, no thanks, I got that with the last ER visit...good grief!!! LOL
ps. Grandma - we just got your package today and everything is wrapped under the tree..except for these pj's. Sorry, after our day, Mommy just wanted a snuggly me to curl up in bed with as Daddy's working tonight. :)
