Again, these pictures were taken a few weeks ago! Elliette had a bit of a run-in with the corner of our wall one morning while we were getting ready to go to the pool on base. I was sun screening Cadence in the living room, and Elliette was running back and forth from the living room to the backyard. She would visit her friend Sophia at the fence and then run back inside. The last time she was running to go out the back door, she tripped over our carpet runner and smashed her face into the corner of the wall!
I usually stay pretty calm when the girls fall or run into things (both of our girls are accident-prone!), but this time it was really loud, and there was quite a bit of blood! I called my neighbor, and she came over with a great first aid kit. She cleaned up Elliette's face a bit, and she put a tight band aid over her cheek.
The bleeding wasn't stopping with the band aid, and I was worried about her getting a scar on her face. I decided to take her to urgent care. Thankfully we didn't have to wait very long!
Poor sweet Elliette! She was a trooper and stayed very clam during the urgent care visit.
The doctor was great! She was so nice to Elliette and helped to keep her calm during the visit. She decided to glue the cut instead of stitching it to minimize scarring.
I took these pictures when we got home from urgent care.
I took this picture a few mornings after the incident!
It's been a few weeks, and thankfully Elliette's eye is healing nicely. She has a bit of a scar and some swelling on her cheek, but we are hoping that it will go away with time.
