What a week! Last weekend, just as we were winding down Saturday evening, everything started falling apart, rapidly.
The girls were getting ready for bed. Sweet Em was hanging out with us in the dining room. She seemed tired and laid down under the table. Next thing I knew she was vomiting. Poor baby!
Just in the same moment, Princess Cinderella came to me with blood on her hands. I told her to hang on, not hearing what she had said and thinking she had cut a finger or something and I was focused on cleaning up Em. Enter Princess Belle, with blood pouring out of a hole on the back of her head!
Long story, short. The girls were playing around while getting dressed and Belle knocked her head into the dresser. Court, the first aid guy, stopped the bleeding and assessed the situation, giving me "The Emergency Room Look".
So, we put Em to bed, hoping she would sleep and not get sick again, left her in the capable hands of Sir Charles and Princess Grace, and headed out for the ER.
Fortunately, it wasn’t crowded and we were in and out in less than two hours. Belle only needed one staple. She was very brave!!!
Not so fortunately, though, Sweet Em spent that time vomiting. Grace did a wonderful job of caring for her!
It was a long night, which was the start of a very long week. The virus moved quickly up the ranks. Only Belle and Charles didn’t get hit hard. Not yet anyway.
I can only thank God that we are such a healthy family, and that weeks like this are few and far between.
