Feb. 3 - Rylie ER Visit. Today was Rylie's 3rd ER visit. Her first was when she was 3 months old she contracted some type of viral infection and spent 3 days in the hospital, the second was last year when she fell down the stairs and we thought she broke her arm (just a bad sprain and ugly bruise) and her third, today, she fell while playing with her cousins and just happened to land on the exact corner of her desk, gouging her eyelid. (For those of you thinking her 3rd was the rock in the nose...we didn't actually go to the ER for that, the doctor removed that in his office) Since it was her eye, I wanted to make sure everything was okay and also to make sure it wouldn't scar. It being Tuesday, I had my nieces and nephew, so I had to "dispose" of them before trekking to the ER..I'm not crazy. (4 children in an ER = bad news) Luckily, my grandmother was also with me, so I dropped them off at my sister's house and headed to the ER. At the ER, we had the best ER nurse, she was great with Rylie. The doctor, however, was obviously new. He preceeded to tell me it was very superficial and it wouldn't even scar. He didn't feel it needed any stitches, just a little surgical tape to hold it closed for a day or two. I'm not kidding when I say the longest wait of the entire trip was waiting and watching him try to find a piece of surgical tape. You'd think being at a hospital, it would be everywhere. Apparently not!! Long story short...the whole experience helped Rylie with her winking. (She can only close her left eye and with it taped shut...great practice.)
