A trip to the emergency room with a bruised rib.
At 10:30 last night my daughter's talking on her cell phone and then doubles over and goes to the floor in pain. First thought, appendicitis (sp?). She was having trouble breathing and could take only shallow breaths because of pain. This was such a first for me as she has never had anything wrong in all of her 14 years to warrant a trip to the emergency room. Come to find out, her and her friends were goofing around on the swings at the park and she went to get out and fell hitting her chest on the ground. She did this Friday and it had been hurting on and off all day yesterday. She didn't tell me because the pain would go away. Holy Crap...my baby was in pain and she didn't tell me. Being bruised I guess the second day was worse?
We were fortunate in that the emergency room was not busy at all, but with drawing blood, x-rays, and a CT scan to make sure her spleen was not damaged we didnt' get home until almost 3 or 3:30. She was actually a little comical while we were waiting but the bad thing was it hurt her to laugh! She was also disappointed that there were no hot guys around! LOL
To say the least, I think a nap will be in order later this afternoon as my dogs woke me up at 7:30 old time wanting to go outside.

Rebecca, Mom to Averey, 2/8/00, Kibo, Sana & Zuri too!
Whoa!
OUCH- I know what those feel like!
Ouch! I hope she feels better really soon. How painful!!
The only thing more painful is the ER bill, right?
Sorry to hear about ER trip but I'm very glad it wasn;t something much more serious!
