On Oct. 13th, Brenna and Sam had a little accident. The two little rug rats decided it would be fun to climb Sam's dresser. Well, all the fun they had planned to endure went away when the dresser fell over on top of both of them. Sam was fine, just startled, but poor Brenna took the brunt of it all. She got knocked out and was very confused. She wasn't able to move her right arm either. Of course I was FREAKING out. I was in my room sorting clothes when I heard the crash, and rushed to my babies and pulled them both out from under the dresser. I quickly threw some clothes on myself and RUSHED Brenna to the hospital. She had a HUGE goose egg on her head, and being that she had been knocked out and couldn't move her arm I thought for sure she had something going on in her head... I have been asked why I didn't call an ambulance, I really don't know the answer to that. I probably should have being concerned about her head, but I thought I could get her to the hospital faster than they could. Anyway, after a CT scan and some x-rays on her arm, wrist, and hand it was determined she had a concussion and to expect some concussion like symptoms for about 48-72 hours and moments of confusion. Which did come. Also she had a broken hand. Well more specifically, she broke the 2nd meta-carple bone in her right hand. We were released from Pioneer Valley Hospital with instructions to go see and orthopedic. So I went home and called up to Primary Childrens and mad appointment for that next day. After more x-rays, we got to see the doctor who explained to us that we were lucky she wasn't a few years older because the type of break Brenna has requires surgery as you get older. Well, thank you Brenna for not waiting another couple years for this medical mishap! I swear this child should have a room reserved for her at the hospital...
She wasn't too happy about any of this can you tell? She picked a pink cast, which today was replaced with a purple cast because she was so swollen when they cast her originally that as the swelling went down the cast became loose and her hand began bugging her when she would bump it or move her fingers. I will post a pic of the new (CLEAN, non-stinky) cast soon!
