Rough Weekend

Our sweet Marlee had a rough weekend. Saturday morning brought us two trips to the ER/Urgent Care. The first trip was caused by a dislocated elbow. This has happened once before; it's called "Nurses Elbow". And apparently they are suseptible to it happening again and again once it's happened once. It's pretty painful - so I really hope that it DOESN'T keep happening. But as Victoria was trying to pull Marlee onto our bed to watch Saturday morning cartoons, it happened. Quick visit to the doctor and all was popped back into place.

A few hours later, the girls and Daddy were having a dance party. Marlee got a little too into her dance moves and fell...drilling her head on the corner of a wall. She started bleeding immediately and the 4 of us rushed to the ER/Urgent Care. She stopped crying and so did the bleeding before we even left the house but we thought it was best to still get her checked out. Good thing too, because they had to give her 3 stitches. It was definetly harder on Mommy and Daddy then her!! The facility right by our house is fantastic with kids. They brought in toys, movies, DVD player, popsicles, bubbles... They are so great with kids and it makes us comfortable knowing that if we DO have to go to an ER/Urgent Care that our girls are going to get great service with an extra child friendly touch.

Victoria was along for all of the emotional support :)




She recovers and gets silly quickly :)

It was SO hard to hold her down for the stitches, but she is such a trooper! It was harder on the three of us observers then her. However, I think it was hardest on Daddy ;)
