Her nose was bleeding and talk about inconsolable crying. I am not going to lie, I was terrified. I held her and we dabbed the bit of blood. Debating if we needed to go to the ER, her Dad searching the internet, and I clung to her, trying to get her calmed. About 15 minutes later as she calmed down she started to seem drowsy, but it was close to her bedtime - tell me that doesn't compound your worries, even if you know she didn't hit the upper part of her face/head.
We got her totally calmed and down to bed with just a bit of tylenol for pain, but then woke her lightly 2 hours later to make sure she still seemed herself. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night - no surprise, right? She woke and cried out a few times requiring consolation and holding which is SUPER abnormal for her. I suspect she rolled and bumped a tender part.
Once I felt better that there wasn't a big concern of major issues and my mind calmed a little all I could think was "her beautiful face... please Lord, protect that beautiful face". I fully expected to find two black eyes this morning. Thank God she looks wonderful today, maybe a slight bit of swelling across her nose and that's it. When she woke from her nap today she had a little more snotty blood coming out. That and a small mark on her lip that looks more like she scratched herself and that's it. We are so lucky.
This just was a bad week for sure with her going down ill and her fall. In between I went down a bit ill, probably with whatever she had, but fortunately it wasn't coming out as vomit. Friday evening was quite a challenge to keep up with her as she was feeling well again, but I certainly was not - and very weak. Thank goodness I went to bed immediately after she did on Friday night and I got 10 1/2 hours of sleep to help keep me covered for my lack of sleep the night before and then after she fell.
Another new food to report as well - rhubarb!
