Alexa's nose

Tonight Alexa tripped and fell into the piano bench hitting the bridge of her nose. She got a bloody nose and cried and cried. My daughter is normally a really tough kid. When she got the goose egg last week she only cried for a minute or two, but tonight she would calm down for a minute and then start crying again, so I knew she was really hurt. I decided we should go to urgent care, so we headed out to the one at the hospital where she was seen once before, but on the way I called the office of our regular doctor and left a message for the on call doctor. We got to the urgent care place while waiting for a call back, so we went in only to be told that the pediatric clinic was closed, and the immediate care clinic didn't see patients under 12. The on call doctor called back as we got back in the van and said to come over to the office and he would see us there. WONDERFUL. They were waiting at the door for us and looked at her right away. Alexa definately understood when he said he was going to look at her nose because she started fighting to get away and screaming. I had to hold her down so the doc could look up her nose and make sure there were no hematomas which fortunately there weren't. We were sent home with instructions to ice it for 20 minutes every three hours. (Not in the night fortunately) So here is David holding an ice bag on her nose while she watches her Curious George DVD. I can't believe she allowed us to do this! We have to go see the doctor again in 3 days when the swelling is down to make sure her septum hasn't been "deflected". I keep looking at her and it seems like her nose is a little crooked right now. I really really hope that is just the swelling.
