I need to wrap Little M in something. Anything really.

This kid......omg.

It's after 2am. Guess where I spent the last 6 hours??? In the ER.

Little M decided right as she left her classroom for the day, to pick a fight with a wall.

With her face!

HER FACE...

Its a miracle her glasses aren't in pieces although the lens are totally scratched up. (She needs new ones so not a big deal).

And of course as we get to the hospital a line of ambulances arrive as well, having responded to a multiple vehicle crash with life and death trauma cases. Of course she wouldn't get seen for hours.

The swelling in her nose had actually gone down by the time the doctor saw her but her right nostril had been almost totally shut and the right side all puffed up. The outside corner of her right eye is all red, swollen and really painful.
While waiting under her left eye began to hurt.

X rays show no fractures around the nose (she's got a hard head apparently lol). Doc said to still expect more brusing and to alternate Tylenol and advil and ice it. He also advised to get her eyes checked again.

So I'll be calling our optometrist Monday to get her in asap.

In the mean time do ya'all think a pool noodle made into a crown will work? Or just go all out and get her a snowmobile helmet with face Shield?

I'm going to try and get some rest now.

Good Heavens!

Maybe she’s trying to exert some control in lieu of all of the shenanigans and hurt and mayham your dick weed WH has caused. Sorry, But that’s the first thing that comes to mind.

My boys used to pull tricks like this, and the only thing that ever seemed to work, was when I would tell them some extreme consequences for making decisions - like if they intend to behave that way, I will have to put a big bandage on their head or I will have to put big thick gloves on their hands or whatever, to protect them. Once I almost told one of my boys that he just wouldn’t be able to go to school… But I caught myself in time when I realize that he might like that consequence!

Do you think she may have done it on a dare?

I’m so glad she wasn’t hurt any worse.

She is the type of kid to leap then look. I always have to remind her to look both ways and not run ahead in parking lots.

I'm actually concerned this is a sight issue. She didnt SEE the wall,at least not in time to stop slamming into it.

She was due for new glasses and she and dd had appointments that I had to cancel because wh cancelled the insurance on the van I have.

I'm back on the road now and he can't mess with that so I can reschedule the eye doc for both girls. The only problem is it will be about a month, if not longer.

I am going to see they can see her as an emergency patient becauze of the ER visit.

The impact made of a mess of her glasses so she needs new ones.

She's sore today and a bit more bruised. Not as bad as I thought so that's good at least.

My youngest was like your D. She'd had stitches three times by the time she was 9. Then she fell off the monkey bars at school and said that she couldn't move her legs. I raced to the school and followed the ambulance, H raced to the ER, driving 70mph down the grass median to get there as fast as he could. When he ran in, she was sitting up on the gurney and chirped a very chipper "HI DAD!" and did a little happy dance.

We told her that she had used up all of her alloted ER visits and that the next time she had to go to the ER, they were going to roll her out into the parking lot.

I hope you get into the eye doc soon. XOXO

Oh my that was a major scare for sure. I'm glad your kid wad ok.

All the kids have been to the ER for one thing or another.

Last night my brother text me and when I told him where I was he said back in our day our mom would just say suck it up. Unless there was spurting blood or bone showing. My youngest brother did break his nose and nothing was done at the time. Years later he had to have surgery so he could breathe properly.

Little M is doing ok. She says it hurts when she blinks.

Omg why why why???

We are sitting enjoying a movie and Litlte M asks me to look at the back of her head.

GOOSE EGG!

I ask what happened and she says when she was on the trampoline earlier, she slipped and hit the frame.

I'm livid! Why the hell didn't she tell me then. Ugh!

Ice pack applied.

No more trampoline!

Sending ((virtual hugs))

Well Little M is at a friend's house for the night so I'm just praying she doesn't hurt herself. The mom text me and said the girls were having a blast. She needs more sleep overs.

The kids did the Terry Fox run today so I'm sure she's tired. She ran her heart out. I always sit out there and cheer the kids on. Big D decided he was going to plant his butt down in the driveway and rest for a bit lol. He's not a runner.
