Madeleine's First ER Visit!

Madeleine made her first visit to the ER on Sunday morning, and Scott and I weren't with her at all. She was visiting Leah and Brendan with Nana in Evansville this past weekend. Scott and I received a phone call at 7:00 am on Sunday morning saying that Maddie had fallen out of the twin bed she was sleeping in and her chin was bleeding. So Nana came to the rescue by taking Maddie to the ER.

This is a picture Nana sent to Scott's phone so we could see how she was doing at the hospital while waiting for the doctor to come. Good thing Maddie had Denver with her. Nana said that Denver, her deer, was right there with her through it all! Nana said she cried the hardest in the room because they didn't have "her cartoons" on the tv there.

Her diagnosis was that actually her bottom front teeth went through her chin when she fell out of bed. She needed three stitches in her chin. It was so hard for Scott and I to not be with her, but we knew she was being well taken care of. On the way home from Evansville, Nana took Maddie to get ice cream at Culvers in Cordyon. As you can see from the picture, her disposition seems to be good, because Nana got her "Cinderella Blue" sprinkles.

Here is a picture I took of Maddie's face on Sunday night before bedtime. Her lower lip was still really swollen. She was having a hard time eating and drinking and would drool sometimes, which she didn't like because she didn't have any control over it. She is currently a mouth-breather and it is severely drying out her lips. She gets to go visit Dr. Kick's office on Friday to get her stitches out so hopefully we can swim this weekend.

Scott and I were so glad to see Maddie when she got home yesterday evening. Through it all, I think Scott still had a good Father's Day.
