Not knowing what was going on daddy just headed home. He met mommy in the driveway with both kids. Emmy was still crying and didn't want to get in her car seat. She had quite a bit of blood all over her face so you couldn't tell where it was coming from.
Apparently, Emmy was playing in the laundry room with the jewelry box cabinet. She pulled on it and it fell on top of her. Shelly was in the other room and her something fall. When mommy went to check, the cabinet was on top of her and she was trapped. She was screaming and there was a lot of blood.
She settled down on the way to the dr and was pretty calm by the time we made it to our room at the ER like at 830. Here a few pictures of her after the cleaned her face.
They checked her out and really only found cuts around her eyes. There was one in the corner that they were worried about so sent us upstairs to a pediatric ophthalmologist. He wants to have surgery today on her to fix her tear duct because we don't want it to heal all closed up.
They let us go at 2 while they set something up. We took Emmy home for a short nap as you could see she was wore out as she fell asleep in my arms at the doctors office. They called back to tell us to be at the outpatient surgery at 330 but surgery probably wouldn't be until 5ish. The cut in the corner is over her tear duct so they need to make sure it heals properly and doesn't close up on her.
Emmy was very patient and good all day considering the circumstances. The poor girl just wanted a snack or drink so bad. She has been trying to tell us this since we left the ER but we had to ignore her because of the possibility of surgery.
They finally took her back around 6 and said it would take about an hour. Depending on how she reacts to the anesthesia when she wakes up she'll come home with us.
