First Trip to the ER!

Well, I really didn't think we would be making this trip so soon, but we did! Lately, Ava has decided that she doesn't like to sit down in her highchair and can even make her way out if she is strapped in and she did just that on Monday, March 5, 2007. She managed to stand up in the highchair, then hit her head on the sharp edge of the kitchen counter resulting in a cut and lots of blood and crying!!! It was very scary, and once she stopped crying, she seemed to be okay except for the small laceration on the side of her eye. We decided that we needed to make a trip to the Children's Hospital Emergency Room and apparently about 100 other families had the same idea! We arrived at 6:15pm and were finally seen by a doctor at midnight!!! Poor Ava finally fell asleep at 11pm, then she awoke to cold saline solution being put on her wound and being wrapped tightly in sheets on a table. She had surgical glue put on her cut and will probably have a slight scar, but seems to be fine now!
