i feel like sh!t right now :gloomy:

DD1 fell out of bed :crying:
she has come out flat on her face i think.

she started screaming right away and when i ran in DP was just lifting her up and when i turned on the light there was blood all over the place. it was poring out of her nose and mouth.

i knwo with kids it can be hard to tell if they have broken their nose or not (my sister did when she was little and mum didn't know until she woke up from her nap with 2 black eyes), so how can i tell ??

she wont let me touch her and just tells me to leave her alone because she wants to sleep.
she has a MASSIVE fat lip and i can hear from here that her nose is a bit blocked by im guessing blood.

is there a way to tell or do i just wait to see if she wakes up with the black eyes or what ever ???

my poor little baby looks awful, fat purple lip, blood on her.....my poor baby :crying:

i have to take DD2 for her immunisations tomorrow so i will get her checked out first thing tomorrow but what do i watch out for now ???
i don't want to go to bed becuase i......well i don't know really, im just worried she is hurt badly.

oh and if she is hurt badly it is very normal for her not to complain and ignore it because pain is something she has gotten use to because of her feet....man i wish she would just cry and want to sleep with me :o

:hugs: If it were me, I'd be taking her to the hospital just to be sure - luckily the nearest one to us isn't far away.

What an awful scare for you all!!
