As most of you have probably heard by now, Avery received her first sports injury the very first time she participated in any kind of sport. She was giving me a hard time about going to bed last night, and I assumed it was because she was missing Elijah since he now has a pretty big role in putting her to bed. She kept coming out saying her chest hurt, but I would send her back to bed because she seemed fine. Then all of a sudden she started screaming like I have never heard her scream before. A constant, blood curdling scream. She had a hold of the side of her neck and wouldn't let go. I thought maybe one of the ants we are trying to not let take up permanent residence here bit her, but I didn't see anything. If you even tried to get near it she would freak out. I took her to the ER and after a quick reminder from Elijah that she had started gymnastics, I told the ER doctor and they stopped trying to see if she had some sort of problem in there. She apparently sprained/strained the muscles in the left side of her neck badly enough that they were spasming bad enough to make the entire ER think she had ruptured her ear drums. I think they got confused and thought their ear drums were rupturing from the insane screaming she was doing. I have never heard her like that. Elijah is out of town, so I had to take both kids with me to the ER. I have a wonderful friend who came and took Benjamin back to her place so he could get some rest. They gave her happy medicine that made her absolutely hilarious. The video is cut short because people were calling and texting me to check on Avery, but you get the idea...
Here she is on a much better day playing dress up:
