Kids Will Be...Emgergencies

I had an appt with the eye doctor today. If any of you have ever had your pupils dilated, you will know that it leaves your vision blurred for hours. While I could see, I couldn't focus or see from close. In this crazy, hazy moment, Maddy tripped and fell. She hit her face on the edge of the bookshelf. Naturally she screamed, and screamed, and screamed. I held and rocked her, but I couldn't see her face. It was all so blurry. I put an ice pack on her head, and let her relax. But then she began to throw up. After cleaning her up, I rushed her to the car, and off we went to the pedi's office. I tried to call on the way, but I couldn't see the numbers on my cell phone. I couldn't call anyone. Long story short, she has x rays and nothing is broken. Just a minor concussion. We finally get home, and my focus is finally becoming sharper. My heart broke when I was finally able to see her pretty little face. She has a bruise above her eye and on her cheek. She is such an active child...always crashing and falling into things. I wonder if I can wrap her in cushioning

Poor Maddie! How scary to have to drive her to the doctors when you couldn't see very well.

Oh man esme...that stinks! I think we should make helmets for our kids to wear. The other day Logan decided it'd be fun to dive into the floor off of her daddy's lap...she almost busted her teeth out, had a hugmoungus lip...something is always happening around here!

Man, what is wrong with the kids lately? I had to take Aron to the ER twice in one week! Two X-rays! He is fine though. They love to scare us don't they?
