Our First Trip to Urgent Care . . . (yesterday)

Lilly and I headed across Moreland to go to storytime with friends. Afterwards we headed to a park for snacks and coffee (whenever I say coffee, I mean hot chocolate for me while everyone else is having coffee). The kids were playing wonderfully until the incident happened.

It took 3 1/4 years and it wasn't too bad. Notice I did say urgent care, we did not go to the emergency room! Lilly did a very poorly thought out dismount off the picnic table bench and ended up face first on the cement pad underneath. Which makes me wonder why they have cement down there.

Anyway, she's fine. She cried for a half hour while we waited for the tram and then a bus. This is what can happen when we take public transportation and leave the cars behind. As we approached our bus stop and car somehow got in the path of the bus. The bus slammed on its breaks and people were flying. Everyone saw Lilly and thought she got hurt while on the bus. We live in a very diverse area so there were many non-English speakers that were very concerned.

So off to urgent care where we waited for 2 hours. Very same experience as the U.S. I took the picture because Lilly didn't understand why people were asking questions about her. There wasn't a mirror handy and I did have my camera. The doc checked Lilly out, cleaned up the wounds and sent us on our way.
