A first of many, I am sure....

Yesterday was our first emergency visit to the doctor and of course I handled it with the grace and calmness of a new parent. That is to say, I cried in the doctors office and felt as though I was the worst mother in the world! We had made a stop at Gymboree for their open gym - thinking what a great way for Ry to get some energy out and have fun crawling on all the equipment. Just as he was running over to another climbing wall, he fell on the mat and hit his eye and nose square on the corner of a wood stair and boy did it swell fast! (and yes, he screamed like you can't believe). I was sure it might be broken - which prompted us to stop at the doctor, no call, no appt - just ran in and they saw us! Thankfully! The first nurse said she would send us to the emergency room and that they might have to break his nose again in order to set it (well, that in turn prompted more tears from me and the feeling that I might throw up!) Thankfully when the doctor looked she didn't feel that it was broken and sent us home to just watch the swelling and the bruise for the next few days.....What a day!
