Today was a fun day for us all. The girls had a half day at school and as soon as we got home, Maddy immediately got into her pjs. She was ready to snuggle under covers and watch cartoons and play dress up. We played peacefully for a while - I even got to dose off on the couch for a bit.
About 4:15, Maddy decided to ride our couch like a slide - she slid down the back of our couch. The bad thing - she had done it enough that the backing had pulled away from the couch and there was a nail exposed. She ended up sliding right down on that nail.
She ended up with a gash about eight inches long. I knew as soon as she started screaming what had happened. I scooped her up and took her upstairs to get Jim. She thankfully had done a good clean scratch. We washed her off and put on some polysporin. Geez. It's mean looking.
We took her to the doctor and he said that it was a bad scratch, but did not need stitches. Thank goodness. We got an antibiotic just in case and was told to keep her dry as much as we can and watch for infection. She should be fine in about 10 days.

Tooth gone bad
Reagan has an abseced tooth. We found it about two weeks ago, but was assured that it was just a normal thing that kids get - a mucus seal. When she got stomach cramps on Thursday, we took her to the doctor. They looked at her mouth and said it was an absece. Grr.
Needless to say, Jim got her into the dentist and they said the tooth had to come out. Not a big deal actually, just not a fun thing to deal with. The infection is below her tooth, there is no root and if we don't get it out, it can damage her adult tooth. Grr again.
Well, I took her to the dentist on Friday afternoon to get it out. The nurse was the one we don't do well with at all. She is never nice to Reagan. As soon as we got in there, she started fussing at Reagan for being too fidgety and a kid. Just made me mad.
She started working with Reagan - she didn't get any nicer when Reagan started to get upset. She got an attitude and I let her know quickly that I wasn't interested in her attitude with my kid. She could find someone else to help.
At that point, Reagan was done. She wasn't going to do it. She was freaked out. The doctor wasn't interested at all either. Needless to say, we ended basically getting kicked out with a recommendation.
Ata the end of the day, I'm actually happy about it. The pediatrician gave us a really good recommendation and I am thrilled. He actually gave me a funny look when I said where we took Reagan. Needless to say, as angry as I was and probably still am at my doctor, they just aren't equipped to work with kids. Hopefully we can get this taken care of next week.
