Gracies latest visit to the hospital

October 12, 2004

Well this seems strange to say, but we finally had a " normal " visit to the

ER.

On Saturday Grace was playing and took a face dive into the coffee table.

She cut her eye pretty bad and needed to get stiches.

Of course, I was prepared with my notebook paper filled of medications and

all of her problems. The triage nurse was somewhat taken back by her

medical history, but understood Mito so was very understanding. The ER doc

was fabulous, and very cautious. She offered to sedate her for the sutures,

due to her high BP. Unfortunatly she was only able to offer Versed, wich we

know she cannot have, so we had to decline.

Grace, obviously, screamed during the procedure but did well. She ended up

with a ton of stickers, two popsicles and 6 stiches.

In the end, it was somewhat a relief to be sitting in a hospital for a

" typical " two year old thing. For once we were not worried about regression

or being admitted. They sewed her up and we were on our way. My biggest

worry was getting home fast enough, because I only had two bottles of

breastmilk ready for (my hubby stayed home with all the other kids).

Isn't it funny what us " Mito Mom's/Dad's " get excited over!

Best wishes to all,

mommy to , , Bre-Anne, Grace, and
