Halloween Horrors

Really, if you are looking for truly horrific Halloween stories, this may not be it. Unless of course, you are a three year old little girl who is excited about dressing up as "Snow White" and going around collecting candy from strangers. That was the plan, truly it was. She did dress up at daycare and got to trick or treat around day care. However, when I picked her up this afternoon, she had just had some sort of accident in which she bled from the mouth and noone knew why. So we spent the evening at the urgent care center...crying, screaming, and howling. She was so pitiful. The doctor did say it apears she has some sort of laceration on her soft pallette. How did that happen?? Best guess is something in her mouth and then falling on the playground. They attempted to take an x-ray to be sure no foriegn body was stuck in the laceration. Yeah, right..that was happening. I couldn't go in the xray room to help hold her down due to being 6 months pregnant. So she was screaming and wiggling. They had to put her on a board and pretty much completely coccoon her in restraints. Yep, that helps the fear level of both mother and child.

Doctor let us out with a prescrption for antibiotics and a pain reliever and instructions to visit the ENT doctor tomorrow.

So not the way to spend Halloween. At least this way there is now chocalate to tempt me.
