Already at the ER

Yep you read that right...it has only been 1 month since our beautiful daughter arrived and her brother has already put her in the ER.

Tonight we were all visiting my Mom for dinner. Ethan had gotten a new toy car and was busy playing with it on the sofa while Mom and I were trying hard to keep Ella Grace awake. We had her sitting in her boppy on the floor while we were making faces to keep her awake and the next thing I know, Ethan accidentally dropped his hard metal toy car directly over the side of the couch arm on to Ella Grace's head. Fortunately it did not hit the soft spot but did hit about an inch above her left ear just where her head curves. I called the doctor immediately who said that because of her age she needed to be seen at the ER asap.

The hospital staff was great with her. We had xrays done and it turns out everything is just fine. No fractures or any skull damage was present on the xrays and she was very alert and active which the doctor said is great since she just suffered a nasty bump on the head.

We are monitoring her closely for the evening but it appears as though everything is going to be ok thankfully!

It's a crazy life with two kids but I know this is just the first of probably many bumps and bruises. I am sure she will be paying her brother back for this one day!!!!!
