Inaugural Visit

Before:

After:

Well after 6.5 years of parenting,

I made my first Urgent Care visit on Friday.

Somehow I always knew the first visit would be for Taylee.

Little Miss Monkey was swinging on the Monkey Bars

and slipped and fell.

Landing on her hand/wrist.

Yep, hasn't every girl done this before?

I instantly had nightmares of my sister knocking her teeth out 

doing this when we were little!

She was at the sitter when it happened.

Holly immediately called me and we decided it was most likely sprained

and not broken since she could still move it a bit.

Holly already was icing it and had her back at home.

I decided I would wait until I picked her up to 

make the decision if we needed it checked out.

Well a couple hours later when I got her,

she was a sad little girl

that wouldn't let me near her arm.

She just whimpered and clung to me.

Broke my heart!

She would cry if you even touched her arm.

I told her we could go have the Doctor look at it if she wanted.

She decided that would make her feel better

as long as he didn't get her a shot!

(poor thing is still scarred from her 4 yr wellness appt when she got 5 vaccines!!)

I assured her there would be no shots.

So we grabbed Anden's basketball clothes for practice

and raced to Urgent Care.

There we waited and waited and waited

(hence the pics above)

she wouldn't move her arm the entire time and was latched to me.

We now had also missed basketball practice.

Finally the Dr. came in.

Taylee was all smiles.

He asked if he could see how well she could move her.

Suddenly she could bend that arm in every direction

and spin it around.

I just started laughing.

I guess the sight of the Dr miraculously healed her!

He laughed and said it happens often.

He inspected her further and said it was definitely a good sprain

and already swollen.

So he wrapped it up,

gave her a sticker

and off we went back home!

Now the hardest dilemma,

how to subdue her busy body self for the next few days!!
