ER Outing

Tonight Vanna decided that we needed a little excitement so she thought breaking her nose would do the trick! We were at the PX for Tyler's Yugio tournament and we were walking around the store and all of a sudden she started screaming and ran to me with a huge bloody nose and a big red mark between her eyes. I asked her what she ran into and she said she tripped and fell on her nose on the carpet - so I am assumming the red mark is a carpet burn? Anyway the store was packed so I managed to get to the Clinique counter and interrupted the employee and a shopper and asked for some kleenex so we could make it to the bathroom. I managed to get her nose to stop bleeding and with the exception of the red mark she looked ok...for a minute. I was going to make an appt in the morning to get her checked out just in case since it was not swollen or bruised. Unfortunately I thought too soon. Within about 20 minutes she developed this bruise that made a line from the top of her nose to the bottom. I could not believe it. I grabbed Tyler from his tournament (he came in 2nd by the way) and we headed to the ER. The Dr. looked at her and said it is straight and not out of alignment (phew!!) but that it may be cracked though. So off to xrays. They took 3 different shots of her and luckily it is not broken, but we have been referred to a nose specialists in case it is cracked but it is hard to tell because of the swelling. So I have to call in the morning and make an appt. with the specialist. So not only does my baby look silly because of her bangs, she now has a broken nose to go along with it and just in time for Xmas pictures!
