Sugar ended up in the ER last night needing a good dose of stitches after she attempted to grab something from her brother and ended up landing on the edge of a coffee table. Here is what she’s looking like these days:
She didn’t get a nap yesterday, and then at the ER they gave her a sedative, but it just made her loopier than ever. (Kept singing Happy Birthday over and over.) So a long day of no naps, and she didn’t really sleep in. She’s a little cranky today, and quite the handful as we attempt to keep her from falling into something else and ripping open the stitches. When Charming brought her to church (I had to go early) she was dressed like this:
Yes, she was wearing the cookie monster slippers (aka Elmo shoes). I didn’t say anything, but I am assuming the wardrobe malfunction was simply an appeasement to the child who won’t be appeased. Have you ever noticed that when injury-type stuff happens to your kids, you just feel so bad and you give in and let them have anything they want?
Hopefully the eye feels better soon and she stops looking like Quasimodo.
I was at my dad’s house when hubby called and asked when should he be concerned when a kid falls asleep after a head injury (he prefaced it with “not to panic you or anything”). Turns out the baby whacked her face on the dining room chair and ended up looking just like your daughter, only really, really dark purple. For weeks.
