Youch! Brinley's First Trip to the Emergency Room

So at work today I got a call from Aaron at about noon. He calmly told me not to panic-so of course my heart dropped into my stomach! He told me that Brinley had fallen and that the ambulance and the paramedics were at the house. He said she was doing fine but that she needed to go to the hospital. I of course started crying and told Aaron I would meet him at Primary Children's. I could hear the paramedic in the background saying she was fine. Luckily I work with amazing people and they got someone in to cover for me immediately and I walked over to the ER at PCMC. I met Aaron and Brinley in the ER driveway and we rushed her in. She was so happy to see me and no tears to be found. The back of her head was covered in blood. Her hair was dyed red! We waited for a bit and Brinley made a little friend. He had fallen 1 week earlier and cut his head open and gotten 2 staples. We had great docs in the ER and they numbed the wound and flushed it out. She got 3 staples, they watched her for a while, gave her a teddy bear and a popsicle and sent us on our way. We grabbed her some food and headed home and she has been great ever since. What a trooper! She is way tougher than her mommy. She gets the staples out in 1 week and we just have to watch her and keep it clean. She will tell anyone who asks that she bonked her head. Thank goodness I have an awesome husband and daddy that reacted quickly in a scary situation. I am so glad that Brinley is doing so great.
