POOR LUCILLE



( these are Lucille the day before the accident. i had to post these because they are just too cute of her looking at her little dolls and being proud of them)
im not going to post any pictures of this because its just too depressing.
and its a really long story , but i will give you the short and sweet .
all week i have been to doctors. and will continue, everyday this week, until the week is
over.
Poor Lucille got pummeled ( or what is the right word for got her face smashed with her brothers bowling ball
of a head) by her big brother.
Ezra was having issues on monday, and decided to jump off the bean bag backwards and fall onto Lucilles
face. it was totally an accident, but it could have been fatal.
it was seriously like a big bowling ball was just dropped on my precious newborns head!!

so--to make a long story short---we need everyones prayers that Lucilles face will come back to normal.
it is quite smashed . aside from that , her eye is quite sagging. it appears that she is not using her eye
like normal and that is quite alarming because that means she doesnt have vision.
so we are taking her to a trauma specialist, and she is getting a CT scan tomorrow to see if we can operate.
i dont really want any operations, but i dont want my baby to be blind either!!
please pray for our baby!

Yikes Jill. That is so sad. I hope everything goes well. David and Whitney's new little guy had to have eye surgery at 8 days old to remove a cataract. I'm sure you have some great doctors, but if you need any medical advice heads are David's specialty (ENT doc at the Mayo Clinic).

Oh Jill, I am so sorry to hear that. It is amazing what newborns can survive, especially ones with older siblings..with lots of energy.
When I was in Kindergarten I thought I would be helpful and carry a week old screaming newborn brother Adam, to my mom. Well she was across the street and I safely crossed, but tripped on the sidewalk and dropped him on his head. I wanted to die. He survived, with a big bruise.

I'm so sorry Jill. I hope she is okay. I'm so worried about her. Keep us posted on her condition. Who knew that Ezra's gigantic melon could be such a problem? I'm sorry to make light - that's kind of morbid, I know. But really, his head is like, as big as Lucille's whole body. The whole situation is just crazy.
