Emmy's First Visit to the ER


Yesterday evening, we were decorating cookies at my parents house. Emmy was the last one to finish. Suddenly we hear this crash, and Emmy trying to get a cry out. She had been sitting in the chair on her knees with her feet sticking out through the back of the chair. When she tried to get herself out of the chair, she some how feel with the chair landing on top of her. We were all there, but no one actually saw what happened. We think she hit her face on the table in the topple, and we weren't sure if she needed stitches or not. We took her to the pediatrician's office, but they sent us to the ER because of the location of the cut. We spent an hour waiting to be seen by the doctor. They put Emmy on a bed out in the hallway. She was very brave. Luckily for us, it was not a deep cut. The doctor was able to clean it up and put the skin glue on, and Emmy walked away good as new. He doesn't think she will even have a scar. We left Alison at my mom's house which helped a lot because there was a lot of waiting. We hope that we never have to make another trip there with Emmy.

Hopefully not an indication she is going to follow in her Dad`s footsteps. Seems like we were always taking him to the Emergency Room.

Glad she is well.

Curtis got a nice gash in his forehead the day before kindergarten. Luckily for us though we didn't have to go to the E.R..

I hope you never have to go back to the ER. too.

And Emmy looks so grown up. When did that happen?

What a brave girl. I'm glad that she is ok! We had a trip to the ER this week too for Katie. It's not fun to see your little girl in pain! :(
