Addy's 1st ER Trip!
This is Brittany. Well, I spent about 1 ½ hours at the ER last night after Addy split her eye lid open on the book case. Jon and the girls were running around the living room and Addy couldn’t quite negotiate the turn around the couch and went head first into our book case. Luckily Jon was right there because she knocked over a couple of picture frames (that he caught) and the thing wobbled pretty good, too. Plenty of blood, but a clean cut over her right eye, of course it could’ve been worse. They didn’t do stitches to sew her up, they did the liquid sealant-type stuff. To use the sealant they had to flush the eye and keep her very still. Needless to say that was a challenge and they ended up having to mummy wrap her to keep her still. She was crying and sweating so bad that she soaked through her jammies and the blanket they used to wrap her!The doctor said that with these liquid stitches she should barely have any scarring. He kept asking if she was acting normal, is she wobbly, etc? The funny thing is she never seemed happier except for the swollen cut and shiner on her left eye! Delaney and Jon stayed at home just because we figured it would be too hectic for her. When she came home, the girls greeted each other with huge hugs and she went to bed. She is doing great today and has only mentioned her "owie" once.
All Better! Just back from the hospital with the stickers to prove it!
Calmed down with blanket in hand!
