Today, the girls and I got to visit with my Grandma (getting ready to turn 93) for a few hours at my mom and dad's. Nina and Lyla had a lot of fun showing Granny Smith their dolls, dressing up in dresses for her, and showing her how much energy two toddlers have! We had a great time visiting with Grandma and look forward to seeing her again tomorrow before her trip home on Wednesday.
Well, we made our first trip to the ER with Nina yesterday evening. It sounds much worse than it was. She really wasn't in bad shape, and we were a little hesitant at first in what to do, but the on-call doctor at our pediatric practice said we definitely needed to take her to the ER, so we did. Nina was getting ready to practice riding on her scooter outside, when she was just standing on it, got distracted, lost her balance, and fell to the side with the scooter. When she did, the scooter handle bar hit her hard in the nose. There was blood and lots of crying, but we thought everything was going to be fine. After a few hours, we noticed increased swelling on one side of her nose, so the dr. told us to take her to the ER to get it checked out and make sure that everything was lined up the way it should be. The good news was that the ER doctor took a look at her nose, and everything looked good. He didn't think it was broken, but thought it was just going to be a bad bruise. To Nina's credit, after the bloody nose incident, she got back out there on her scooter and kept on riding. Good for her!
