Urgent Care & Minor Injury in the Same Week!



Greetings!
Yes, the title says it all!
We have been to Urgent Care for Logann and Minor Injury with Peyton within a time frame of 5 days! Oh the joys of raising babies! Let's start with Logann...

At the family reunion (farm in Lebanon) on Saturday night, she ran straight in to the teeter-totter (sp?) We took her in the next day to have it looked at and it was too late to stitch up, but they cleaned it out and put new strips on it. FYI...new parents out there, if the injury is on the face and you are unsure of the need for stitches, TAKE THEM IN ANYWAYS...because they can't do stitches 12 hours after the incident happened. Oh well...the only result is that there might be a bigger scar. That doesn't really matter because her coffee table scar is on the same eyebrow! So much for modeling!

Now on to Peyton! She fell off the top bunk bed last night. Brent was playing with the girls in Logann's room and had Peyton on the top bunk playing with her. (no blame placed here because I have had Peyton on the top bunk too) Well...she fell off, cleared the double size bunk on the bottom and landed right on a huge, overstuffed puppy pillow that Logann had on the floor. I know...pretty darn amazing that she didn't hit the bottom bed's frame. Well, she seemed fine last night, until I woke her up this morning and got her out of her crib. She could hardly walk, and when she did take steps, she was clearly limping. She cried because of the pain, so I called advice and we took her to minor injury this morning at 10am. The doctor checked for range of motion in her hips and legs and said she was fine. If she seems to get worse over the next three days, he said to bring her in for an x-ray. He didn't want to do an x-ray today just because he thought she was fine, and all that radiation through such a little body at this age is not good unless it is absolutely necessary. So...we'll be keeping an eye on her!
