This weeks hospital trip

Not that moving isn't enough stress in a families life. But Kimmie had another hospital trip this week. I have to tell you that no this isn't what you are thinking. Tuesday after a very long hard morning I finally made it to work. Although the moment I put my purse away, hung up my coat and turned on my computer the phone rang. It was Kimmie's school teacher. She said, "Kris I didn't want to call and tell you this." I don't think that is a good way to start a phone call so I asked, "What has happened?" Kimmie had crashed heads with another student and fallen to the ground. The teacher exclaimed that she was bleeding really bad and was fine but she would probably need stitches. I turned myself right back around and put my coat on and left. I picked her up, by that point the bleeding had pretty much stopped. I called her doctor and he couldn't see her for another two hours. So I took her to the nearst instacare. Bad mistake. Don't take a child with seizure and a head injury to someone who doesn't know her. They were too scared to see her. So therefore we ended up at the emergency room. As we walked in the door. The nurse at the front desk says, "Kimmie it is nice to see you standing up and walking, and not in an ambulance." I think it is pretty bad when the ER nurses know you by name and what your condition is. Finally two hours and some glue later we finally headed home to put her in bed and go on seizure watch. Notice I could have saved myself some money waiting for her doctor. She had a few small seizures as a result although nothing horrible. Her cuts weren't very long but deep. So if she will leave the glue alone we can avoid stitches. Tuesday we head to the doctor to have her head injury checked out by her pediatrician. So this is a photo of her with the cuts by her nose and on her forehead before Laura does her little touch up with them and makes them disappear.
