Oh, such a long story... The day after Thanksgiving we were all hanging out in the family room when Ryan decided to climb on the back of the kitchen chair. Unfortunately we did not catch her in time and she fell backwards on the tile floor & held onto the chair the whole time. She hit the back of her head on the tile and the chair fell on her face. We knew she needed stitches & rushed to Urgent care. They told us to go to the hospital as she was showing signs of trauma ( throwing up) . Fun. So, we went to the E.R. and waited 30
mins. for their pediatric wing to open. Makes me wonder what happens if your child has an emergency in the middle of the night? After we were seen by the doctor, he had to decide whether to do an x-ray or cat scan to see if there was further damage. They informed us that if they did the cat scan Ryan would have to have an iv and would be taped down to the table. They asked us if they did all that to her if we thought she would lay still or fight. I laughed really hard. Everyone decided it would be best to just do the x-ray since it would be less traumatic. They still had to restrain her, which was traumatic for her & Jason and I. Luckily there were no signs of trauma so they put liquid bandage over her eyebrow and we were sent home. All in all the whole ordeal took 4 hours. Did i mention that we hate hospitals? Ryan is doing much better now and is feeling great. And she has a
prominent future in cage fighting.
