Emerson

It has been a traumatic weekend here.    Emerson broke her toe.   It was a crazy accident and the bar stool fell on it.    It bled for almost 2 hours before they could get it slowed down enough to put skin glue on it.    They x-rayed it and it was fractured- like a little zig zag.   They gave her a walking shoe and the first thing she wanted to do was decorate it- that doesn't suprise any of us.   Then when we got home it started to bleed again so we had to go back.   We ended up spending 4 hours at the Acute Care Kids.    Then the next morning they wanted us to come back again because it was still bleeding.    Now the plan is for me just to change the dressing 3-4 times a day until we can see the Orthopedic Dr on Monday.   Emerson made friends with everyone at Acute Care- the nurse that was on duty Friday called to check on her and they texted her a picture of Emerson's blinged out shoe.   She knows where all the Popsicle and suckers and stickers are kept and she was all smiles when we left.    She has been a good patient (except trying to teach her to swallow a pill- NOT FUN)    Since she hates to watch TV it is hard to keep her sitting still very long!
