Almost to the ER x3

We've made nearly 3 trips to the ER this week.  I say nearly because none of the 3 happened, however they did all ALMOST happen.  Which means this has been one killer of a week!  

Near ER trip #1: 

Suzy trips over dust pan, landing on an outstretched wrist.  Felt a big zing, Bob knew it wasn't good when some choice words came out of her mouth.  Decided to wait it out.  Still hurts, still waiting.

Near ER Trip #3:

Lucy fell while we were dancing around the living room, or maybe I tripped her or rolled on her... not sure, just know must screaming began.  And then I noticed her arm didn't move, couldn't move... First it seemed like her shoulder had been dislocated the way it was hanging, then she was pointing to her elbow.  Much tears, self imbolization of the arm (which we all know is amazing since Lucy can be still for a second!)  She even let us ice it (which she never allows), so we knew something was wrong.  I doped her up on Tylenol and we packed up to take her to the ER.  We were in the car GOING TO THE ER when we realized Lucy was faking her "broken" arm. She's preying on my fear of letting my kids wander around for days with broken limbs... probably stemming from my childhood.  I think she really did hurt herself, but maybe she liked the attention and let it keep going?  Can you do that at 21 months old?  Anyways, we figured out the roose when she buckled her own seatbelt - Lucy can't resist the temptation of a buckle!

Near ER trip #2: 

Something got into Fable with Lucy's help. Lucy found my antibiotic ear drops that I was taking (which I won't be any longer since there aren't any more). While the girls were upstairs with Bob and I was making dinner, Lucy very quickly was able to open the bottle, grab the dropper, and stick it RIGHT in Fable's eye. When Bob swooped in to grab the dropper and rescue her, Lucy spilled the whole thing in her eyes and all over her face. What a mess! Many tears from all parties involved.  I am feeling grateful to the people at poison control. Not so happy about the mass hysteria and 15 minutes of flushing out Fable's eyes. At least it seems we were spared another trip to the ER. What is going on around here?!?!?  

May the week soon be over and may we stay out of the ER - afterall we've already used up all our HSA money for the year.
