Today Lizzie had her first trip to the emergency room. It all started when she was hanging out with Mommy on the bed. She went to get off the bed and instead of fully turning around to go down backwards, she rolled off the bed and did a face plant on to the wood floor. She was crying and her mouth was bleeding but eventually she calmed down.
A bit later we noticed that her nose was red and swollen so we called the pediatrician and he told us to take her to the Beverly Hospital emergency room. So off we went to the emergency room. They registered us quickly and we didn't have too long to wait before being called back to see the doctor. There was also a nice little kids waiting area with toys which made the short wait more bearable.
The Dr. quickly assured us that her nose is fine because she has no bones in her nose which meant she had simply bruised the soft tissue. However, when looking in her ears the Dr. discovered that Lizzie had an ear infection! I guess the trip was not a total loss. Now Lizzie has had her dose of antibiotics and ibuprofen and is happily sleeping...hopefully through the night!
