To ER or not to ER...

Savannah has taught me a lot....in trauma care. She has had me running to the emergency room more times than I care to remember. She has had bumps, bruises, stitches, teeth knocked loose, the works. And a few nights ago she did it again! We were in the car and somehow she managed to do this to herself with one of her toys.

Ouch! All I saw when I glanced back was a knot and dripping blood....ughhhh.

But thankfully, all those trips to the ER taught me something. Even if a head would looks bad, bleeds profusely, or swells as long as you don't suspect skull fractures or brain bleeding there isn't a whole lot the ER can do. So Motrin, ice, and an invitation to sleep with Mama....



The next morning!

Sad for her though, she will have to start first grade with a black eye!
