The crunch heard around the world...

This past Tuesday was horrible. We were deep cleaning and rearranging the living room for Mally's arrival, and Lucy was playing and climbing on the scattered furniture. She was walking past the coffee table, tripped on the leg, and face planted right into the corner of the wooden glider rocking chair. Jon and I both heard a crunching sound when she hit.

I picked her up, and she was stiff as a board and shaking. It immediately started swelling and turning an array of nasty colors. We put shoes on and left for Urgent Care (because of course nothing like this can happen during your pediatrician's office hours, right??).

After xraying her sweet little face, they said that it wasn't broken, just bruised and swollen. We took her home, gave her Tylenol and watched her like a hawk. The UC doctor said to follow up with her pediatrician on Friday (today).

We just got back from the follow up appointment, and everything looks great. Her septum is straight! Had it been crooked, she would have had to have been put under and had it reset. THANKFULLY that is not the case! For now, it just looks like she's been in a a UFC cage match, but it's getting better every day.
