1st Trip to the ER

On Saturday night Joe took Abby on her first trip to the Emergency Room. After a fun day at our friend's house for their daughter's 1st birthday party, Abby took a nasty tumble and hit the corner of her eye on the coffee table. The cut seemed small and her eye appeared to be just fine, but after about an hour we decided she needed to be seen by a doctor. The cut was seeping and we weren't sure if she needed a stitch or two so we figured better safe than sorry. I stayed home with Chloe who by this time was fast asleep in her crib while Joe took Abby to the ER. About two hours later and one worried pacing Mommy, Abby was back home and asleep in her crib. She ended up not needing any stitches but she did need dermabond to hold the cut closed. The doctor said it was a good thing we brought her in and everything with her eye checked out to by fine. Sunday Abby woke up in good spirits with a very mild black eye. She was exhausted from her evening the night before and took a three hour afternoon nap. Mommy and Daddy took an afternoon nap as well.

Today she is still doing great. She only fusses if something touches close to her eye and has just a bit more bruising today than in the pictures. Both girls were a bit cranky come late morning but they are working on some new molars. Chloe officially has 10 teeth and Abby has 7.
