A Trip to the ER

Today was quite an awful day for me and the baby. Savannah and I came home from running a few errands in the morning. Sarah had placed her full length mirror in the living room. Apparently when I was in the other room trying to clean up my bedroom I heard Savannah start crying. She must have been playing with the mirror when it fell over on top of her head. I immediately rushed over to her aid and found her laying on the floor with the mirror on top of her and broken glass everywhere. I picked her up to comfort her and took her into my bedroom when I realized she was bleeding all over me and the floor. I quickly took her into the bathroom and started to clean her up. The kids were a big help. I was obviously freaking out and the kids remained calm and help stop the bleeding. She had cut her lip and had blood in her mouth. The back of her head had a small gash in it and was bleeding all over the place. I quickly rushed her to the hospital and walked into the emergency room. We were able to get her in right away. Savannah didn't have a nap all day and was supper crabby upon arrival. She freaked out whenever the nurses and doctor would slightly touch her. I know she was scared and wasn't use to being examined by medical doctors. She was extremely difficult to handle and I had a tough time trying to restrain her. The doctors eventually left me alone with her and it took me quite awhile to calm her down. I did get to rock her to sleep for a few minutes and she was much more pleasant afterwards. The nurse took her in for some x-rays and it took two people to restrain her. I had to hold her down and she started to calm down a bit once she realized it was just pictures. It turns out the x-rays came back good. A female nurse came into wash her hair and gave her some princess stickers and a popsicle. The doctor administered two staples to her head and she just cried a little right after and than it was all over. I was amazed to see how well she took it after seeing how badly she reacted when we first arrived at the hospital. We are happy to be home and on the road to recovery.
