Skylar and the broken nose

So our little Skylar has returned to us after being gone for 2 years. We are so happy to have her back. She arrived June 25 and we have been having so much fun.

The other night, we were watching a movie and it got a little boring so I got up and started folding laundry -- my nemesis-- and Skylar was watching the movie but lying on her back balancing one of those toddler sized folding chairs on her feet when all of a sudden I hear -- crash -- OOWWW!!. I ran over and see Skylar holding her nose. Yup, she managed to drop a chair on her face. After ice and Tylenol, the pain was still very extreme, so off to the ER we go.

When we get into triage, the nurse, a very large bald man was doing our intake and he asked "what happened?" and with all the seriousness in the world, she looks at him with this sweet face and says... "I dropped a chair on it". The nurse busted out laughing. He could not stop, which of course made me and Skylar laugh. Each time she laughed it hurt so it was laugh -- ouch, laugh -- ouch.
So she went to X-ray and sure enough, she fractured her nose. Thank God it was a clean break, a very small crack, but broken.

We love out little clutz :)
