Trauma!






So this Saturday Elise took a mega fall! Brian, Elise and I were at the church Saturday morning for meetings and cleaning the church. While I was in my meeting Elise got a poopie diaper so I left really quick to go change it. After I was done changing it I threw the diaper in the trash, then realized they have a diaper pail. (If you leave the diaper over night in a normal trash can it can really stink up the room.) So I left Elise up on the table for 10 seconds to grab the diaper out of the trash and put it in the pail. When I turned around I saw her land face/head first on the hard floor! She of course screamed and screamed, I tried to calm her down and eventually went and found Brian. We decided to leave early and take her home. When we got home her eye already started to swell up. We checked her pupils, and the eye that was swelling wasn't quiet responding like the other one. We called her pediatrician and they told us to take her to Primary Children's and get a CT scan. By thet point Elise was kind of acting tried, but it was also her nap time. So we took her to Primary Children's ER, while we were waiting to be seen Elise started to run around the waiting room so that made us feel better. We saw the doctor and since she was running around and screaming at the doctor (that's normal for her by the way) He said she didn't need x-rays or a CT scan. (Thank heavens! They had to fight her just to get her blood pressure, I can't imagine what x-rays and CT scans would be like!) Since then she's been pretty good, but her poor eye is swollen and purple. So I documented this wonderful occasion! It's such great day when you take your baby to Primary Children's for the first time. (It's kind of similar to calling poison control for the first time, which I've done too!) So now all is pretty well at the Wells house hold.

Even with a swollen I, she's still a happy girl. Glad to see it wasn't any worse.
