Indoctrination

Well I think we can officially call Emerson a kid now. Not a baby or a toddler, but a kid. We had our first flying over the handle bars of the bike accident that resulted in Denny and I rushing a bleeding, screaming Emerson to an Urgent Care Clinic to have her chin closed up this evening. It was not deep enough to get a stitch, but needed to be closed up so they glued it shut. Not so bad really, just a scary experience.
All of this drama after a long day of appointments and errands. We saw a new Dermatologist this morning to work on healing her Mulluscum. I think we will have much better luck with this guy. From there we went to LSU and fed the ducks, more random errands then lunch. All of this killing time until her ENT appointment at 3:25. After lunch we went to Marshall's where Emerson tried on lots of pretty hats. Of course this one was her favorite. More random time killing errands and finally the ENT. Where we finally came to except the fact that after 2 years with tubes they have to come out. One has fallen out and is sitting in the ear canal. Ear healed up fine on its own. The other ear has been giving us lots of trouble and the tube is impacted into the ear drum and could not fall out even if it wanted to. It is pretty much glued in place with old funk and crust thus making it worse for it to be in her ear. So we will do the outpatient procedure in a few weeks to get the tubes out and hopefully be done with the ear plugs and go on our way. Life with a 3 year old never ends.
