Bumps and Bruises

I feel like this post deserves to be all on its own.  Adaya my poor poor Adaya has really hit a rough time in nursery.  One where she didn't want to go and so I tried tough love to let her cry for a bit and found that just didn't seem to work with her and so I was back to square one of going in with her to nursery and letting her transition with my support as an onlooker in her class.

Unfortunately though, the times I left her she seems to come out with some bumps.  The first week when she was helping clean up a table fell on her leaving a nice bruise on her cheek and then the week after she fell back on her chair during snack, threw up everywhere and ended up with a minor concussion.

The nursery leader was so kind to come and get me and so calm about telling me that Adaya had fallen back and then gotten sick all over.  She then encouraged me to take Adaya to emergency and so we grabbed the rest of the fam and headed on over to the local hospital.  While actually we stopped at Walmart as Adaya was in just a diaper from being sick on her clothes and to grab some buns for the others to eat as we waited to be seen.  I came to recognize gratitude for doctors and for prayers and for faith and that Walmart was open on a Sunday!

It is a scary thing to see your child go through a minor traumatic incident and come out unscathed but I was grateful that we have an amazing medical system that we don't have to pay for those times that we just need reassurance that our child is okay.

The week after it happened I could tell that Adaya had suffered a bit from the concussion as she was a bit weepier and more sensitive than normal.  I am happy to report that she is now back to her normal happy bouncy self and I hope that we can come out of nursery unscathed for the next little while!
