ER Visit

Daphne landed herself in the emergency room Sunday evening. As I was getting ready to dish up dinner, Daphne went into the bathroom to wash her hands. Then we heard a really loud crash and Daphne started wailing. Apparently Daphne fell off the bathroom stool while reaching for the hand towel. We are not sure what she hit her head on (the edge of the pedestal sink or the underside edge of the stool, but she had a cut on the back of her head that was bleeding pretty good. It was hard to get a good look at it because of all Daphne's hair and all the blood that comes with head wounds. We decided to take her to the ER to get it checked out. Thankfully the ER doctor examined Daphne's head and determined she did not need stitches or staples. One of the nurses washed the wound really well and applied Neosporin. Ironically, Daphne spent a good part of the afternoon climbing all kinds of stuff on the playground but it was the bathroom stool she had trouble with. I think she was tired (from lack of a nap and all the playground action) and just wasn't paying attention to her footing. We have revisited stool etiquette since the ER visit.

Daphne fell asleep while we were waiting
for her discharge papers around 9:30 pm.
