not your typical morning

Any guesses as to who the unlucky patient was???
SAVANNA!!
Poor girl was born with her mother's luck.
We {Savanna & I} were outside on the deck when I decided to do something productive and take the trash to the garbage can--genius, I know! Savanna was happily riding her bike around & around & around when I headed away. I heard her little "i'm tuming!" from behind. I kept walking. Next, the sound of her bike coming down. the. stairs.

SCREAM!!

She was struggling to get out from under the bike, so I helped her up and brought her inside to assess the damage. She didn't cry for too long, but she did want her daddy! {luckily, it was a day he was home} After a bath, I decided to call the doctor because I couldn't remember "the rules" about falling toddlers. My doctor called back and I was told to take her immediately to the ER.

What?!?

Don't kids fall all the time?

But being the loving mother that I am, I followed the doctor's orders. So after TWO hours, $50 co-pay, lots of stickers, and "flashlights" to the eyes, we returned home for a much needed nap. After nap time she was up & at em' again on the bike. So, no traumatic effects from the fall :)

Oh, and she's much happier AND sleeping better at night. . .too bad she didn't hit her head sooner!

Poor thing! That's some nasty mark on her face. Thank goodness these little people heal quickly! I'm glad she's ok and two thumbs up to you for asking your doctor first. You'd hate to end up in the ER with a laughing, happy child and have them as "O'kay... So why did you bring her in?"

Any chance you're planning on coming to Time Out For Women tomorrow? I have an extra ticket at the "group" rate if you know anyone... :)
