Fun ER Trip

Well we were having a wonderful time as a family and we went to wal-mart to let Jillian and Dennis use the gift cards they had gotten for their birthdays. Jillian got bubble bath, some frog scrubber thing, littlest petshop tackle box looking thing, another littlest pet shop doll and that was her thing I think. Then Dennis got a new bluetooth.

We then ran to the mall to pick up Up that we had pre-ordered over a month ago. Then we let Jill pick where to eat. We ended up at Applebes with her new penguine she got at the disney store. We ordered drinks and our appitizer had eatten that and our food was on its way.

As we sat there Jillian got a concerned look on her face and then touched her nose. Then the blood just started POURING out of her face. Mind you these nosebleeds are a daily occurance and the doctors had assured us it was allergies, but after a year and a half of taking allergy medicine... that certainly is not the case here.

Then the bleeding got worse and after going through close to twenty napkins completely soaked I started to panic. The waitress at that point started to panic as she brought us more napkins and our food arrived. At that point a HUGE blood clot was pulled from her nose and the bleeding just got worse. Then blood started coming out of her eye and then another bloodclot. So we packed up the food and headed to the ER.

We get in sight of the ER and Jillian pulls the napkin away from her face and says, "I think it is done now." Then just sits there merrily with her ner chinchilla littlest pet shop toy (It is a limited edition and only comes with the tackle box thingie she had to have). We decided to go in anyways just to make sure since it was the most bizzare nosebleed to date.

We waited maybe 30 minutes to get into our room and then waited another hour till the doctor arrived. After 4 hours we were able to leave, but it was funny after waiting for an hour it was moments before the doctor got their and Jillian says, "There are no doctors in this hospital." Then just gives me a serious look. Like she was concerened for all those people she had seen waiting that they were not going to get to see a doctor.

They took her blood to make sure her bloodcount was good and that she can bleed properly. She came out clear but tomorrow we go to ENT (Ear Nose Throat) and they will check out her nose and let us know. I was amazed they got us in so soon. The doctor told us to get her in there within a week and she talked to the doc and got us an appointment for tomorrow morning.

So that is our plans for tomorrow. Find out what is wrong with our little girl. I will share the picture of Jillian with the gloves on checking over her penguine while we waited for her results to come back, tomorrow. Seems it is on Dennis' phone and I need to get him to send them asap.
