Whatta Day... :(

Earlier today Julia had an accident :( While she was trying to get down from the toilet she fell and hit her head on...i can't even explain what part of the bathroom it was. I got yaya's text around 10:45 and rushed home to see a profusely bleeding Julia and I guess I just freaked out. I kept on thinking why is there so much blood? I started calling people... drago, the driver, mama, ate jill and finally the neighbor. Anyone who could possibly help us get to the hospital since we had no car. Julia's and yaya's clothes were all soaked. The floor had little puddles everywhere. I didn't even attempt to look in the bathroom.

Anyway, we went straight to the E.R. of Asian Hospital. The doctor checked the cut and had the nurses cover it with bandage to help stop the bleeding. It was small but kinda deep. Of course Julia went wild. For one, I really can't bear to see her crying hysterically when I know she's in pain. I don't even go with them to the doctor's room when she gets her shots because i can't take the sight of her being pinned down. The doctor at Asian wanted to sedate her and administer general anesthesia but i told him I wanted to consult our pedia (and mama) first. It's a good thing they let us transfer coz as it turns out, sedating her wasn't really necessary. Though she was really going wild in the O.R. at MCP, I'm just glad that mama was there as well as Dra. Romero (who's been her pedia since day 1) and alot of other familiar faces. I was already pretty calm when we got to MCP. Seeing Mama, ever so calm and cool and generally unperturbed... nahiya naman ako maghagulgol diba? :) Plus Drago was already there as well. I made him stay with Julia in the O.R. Even Tatay arrived a few minutes after! It turned out to be a family affair. She ended up with 2 or 3 stitches and a dose of local anesthesia. Even after everything, i'm just glad it wasn't that serious. It could have been worse and we're really lucky. We're so thankful for all the people who helped us. It's one of those times, Drago says, that he's glad his parents are doctors. And i'm glad too!

PHEW!

Now she seems to be all better. We're just asked to observe her for 2-3 days for any symptoms like excessive sleepiness, vomiting, dizziness etc. Because if any of these symptoms manifest, she's gonna have to undergo a CT scan. Yikes! Wag naman!!!

This image is soooo much better compared to what I saw after the accident.
Now it just looks like a tiny bubu on the forehead.
Tibay talaga ng noo ni Julia! Mana kay Drago!
