Ahhh Easter Sunday 2011 ...a perfect example of how things don't always go according to plan and yet somehow they always turn out exactly how they are supposed to :)
So after being told at the Dr. office to behave myself all weekend I gave it a good try...I really, really did. But half way through the day Saturday Cassie took a really good tumble (still no idea how or what happened...) and split her cheek open. Daddy wasn't at home so Grandma and I took her to the Emergent Care place. Talk about the BP going up! I can deal with a scratch that is bleeding like crazy, but this cut was different. It wasn't really bleeding all that bad but every time Cassie moved the cut would split open so I could see inside...just ew...so I kinda freaked (just a little). We got to the place and were seen right away the doctor sealed the cut with some glue and a steri strip and we got sent home. She was really such a good girl during this whole thing, she only cried really when the Dr. was holding the cut closed to put the glue on... after the Dr. left the room she was right back to smiling and exploring.
(for future reference though we will skip over the Emergent/Urgent Care places and go right on to the ER for anything big or small. While we got right in and out they treated the cut like they would on an adult rather than a small child it didn't get cleaned out properly and it got very very infected...after a week on some pretty rockin antibiotics {and still a bit longer to go} it is looking much much better and we are pretty sure there wont be a scar)
Needless to say, nobody in the house got a wink of sleep Saturday night into Sunday... when Cassie finally got up for the day her cheek had swollen to the size of a golf ball and was all nice and red and shiny...ontop of that she was still sick with her nose leaking like a faucet, her fever was still nice and high and she was teething and drooling like crazy...I have never ever seen her drool as much as she did!
So lets just say we didn't really do much. We gave Cassie her Easter basket, we just put her eggs in there and skipped over the egg hunt even though it turned out to be a pretty beautiful day. She loved the M&Ms and Jelly beans, didn't really care too much for the peeps or chocolate bunny (though she has since changed her mind...). I also skipped over putting her in her "pretty" dress since she was drooling and bleeding and what not it just wouldn't have been a pretty sight.
We did the ham up in the crockpot (though it was slightly too big for the pot, Matt rigged it so that everything was covered up.) it ended up cooking pretty great, in fact we over cooked it a bit, but it was still awesome. We didn't end up doing the mashed potatoes and carrots we had planned, we did just the plain version of both, and yet? it all came out just perfect some how.
And to top it all off, my awesome Aunt Carol sent over some great deserts for us all to enjoy (we all enjoyed every bite of those puffs and cupcakes)
And the next day??? My water broke at 6:30 a.m. ... story to come soon!!
