Poor Will ended up at the doctor twice last week-and got diagnosed with his second ear infection in 2 weeks as well as croup. That kid is still a rock star though. I can only imagine how crappy he felt but he still would give us smiles and play. He got a new 10 day round of antibiotics for his ear and 3 days of steroids for the croup. We've now been warned that its not a good sign that he has had two ear infections within 2 weeks and only being 4 months old. Today he really seems to be on the up and up from everything. Only coughing a bit and has started to finish bottles again!
And now on to Abby...
On Saturday we had a bit of an accident that landed us at Children's Mercy in the ER. Ben was rocking/ spinning in the nursery chair and it tipped over-he and the chair fell and landed on Abby's head as she had been laying on the floor. Vince & I were right there and got to Abby in a matter of 2 seconds-she was screaming and crying which was a good sign but since there was an extra 32 lbs of toddler that fell along with the chair we thought it was best to go to the ER. Ben was alright just scared and upset that he just Abby. As soon as we got to Children's Mercy they rushed Abby right back and she got an exam and then straight to get a CT scan. I was so nervous that they would have to sedate her but I got her to sleep while we wired and she slept through the whole scan! It was a very long 30 minutes as we waited for the results. Thankfully she didn't have any bleeding or a skull fracture just a mild concussion. She needed to eat before we could leave to ensure she kept her food down which she did. We were told to return if she threw up more than once, was inconsolable, had a seizure or just didn't seem right. Needless to say she slept in our room Saturday night and I woke up at least 10 times to check on her! But she slept all night without incident! We had a follow up today and she got a clean bill of health! So now Abby can cross off Er Trip & CT Scan from her list of firsts.
