So, we went in to get Kenlee's cast of today....and things didn't turn out the way we wanted. We had to leave at 8 for our 9:30 appointment due to the snow and bad road conditions. We made it to our appointment by 9:20 and then Kenlee had her x-rays done by 9:45. I think it was around 9:50 or so when we were waiting in the waiting area and Kenlee fell right in to a flower pot. When I picked her up I noticed she was starting to bleed for her nose. As I looked closer...I noticed a big cut in her nose and it looked as if the cut went all the way through her nostril. Kevin took her and Grandma Lynette and I tried to grab a wipe to contain the blood. We ran in to the orthopedic office and asked them where we can go or what we could do. We ended up heading to the ER. We had a couple hospital officers stop by and take pictures of Kenlee's accident and we had to show them what happened and where. They wrote up a report and I am not sure what happens now. Thanks goodness for Grandma Lynette. She took care of the report and showed the officers where the accident happened. I was a complete mess and I think it upset Kenlee. When she saw me crying she would cry. So, I took her and tried to calm down so she would be okay. After two nurses, a doctor and a Ear Nose Throat specialist...we were able to determine that stitches were not needed. In fact, they would probably do more harm than good. So, we have to keep antibiotic ointment on it for a week and see how she is doing.
After our ER experience, we went back upstairs and they were able to take her cast off! Thanks goodness...the day wasn't a total loss!
We got home and had Kenlee take her first steps without her cast and she is doing well. We took a bath (she was in there for about 45 minutes) :) and now she is all over the place. She keeps looking down at her leg wondering where her cast went. We love you Kenlee!
