Austyns Trip to the ER

Thursday afternoon Austyn came running out of her room with a toy in her hand and fell right into the entertainment center cutting her eyelid open. I picked her up to find her face covered in blood. I loaded her and Dallin into the truck and took her to the urgent care doctor where Ashley works. He looked at it and said that because of the kind of cut and where it was at that I needed to take her to the ER at Primary Childrens Hospital. For those of you who know me I HATE hospitals so I was a reck. I was more upset than Austyn was. We got up there and waited for 2 1/2 hours in the waiting room. When we finally got back to a room the doctor came in and looked at it and said that she needed to get three stitches. The best way to stitch her up was to have her sedated. So they gave her an IV and did the procedure. Luckily Austyn has a dad who can handle watching that stuff so he stayed in the room with her. Dave said when she was laying on the table sedated she kept saying "HI" which is her favorite word. Here are a few pictures from the morning after. Dont mind the grose nose. She also has a Sinus infection and ear infection!

What a tough cookie! She is even darling with a black eye. I think these things are hardest on the mom.

What a sweet girl. And a real trooper. Mom's right! She definitely has that tough 'Cook' side in her.

It looks likes she was a lot of fun the next morning! I'm glad she's okay.
