Oopsie Daisy

I spoke too soon on the no major traumas thing. Oops. I feel guilty for even saying it cause we all know how as soon as you say something like that, the trauma occurs. If you keep up with Missuz J, you've read about Sophie's crash yesterday. We were mostly concerned about the head injury at the time, since of course, we all attend to the bleeding first. But, after a very restless night with a very sad Sophie, it seemed that the arm was going to be the big problem. It was swollen and had a very weird bruise, and she didn't want anyone to touch it by morning. So, off to the pediatrician, and then of course the x-rays. The whole family was anxiously awaiting the results, hoping we didn't have a broken Sophie on our hands, since that would put a serious damper on backyard cousin frolics for the next two weeks, not to mention the continuing sad Sophie. Everyone get ready to breathe a sigh of relief... not broken. She just smacked it really hard, and apparently has a displaced fat pad in her elbow. No idea what that means, other than she smacked it REALLY HARD. Poor baby. She's usually such a tough girl, and bounces back from the typical toddler bonks like nobody's business. Much better than my kids who tend to break out the tears for falling down on the plush carpet. So, when you hear her crying THAT cry, it's time to worry. We're all very relieved, and hoping she is home sleeping peacefully and giving her mommy a well earned break. Love to Sophie, the bravest of the brave!
