After an accident in the bathroom, Brooke (again) found herself at the Childrens hospital. It was a late night visit - we didn't arrive until about 7:30 pm - and it was PACKED. This was our third time on as many months, but the first time I've seen it so crowded. Turns out, we had a late flu season ... And we were there during the peak of it :(
Checking in I was told out wait would be about an hour, but it was after 9 before our name was called. They set us up on a gurney in the hallway because the rooms were a full, and it still took about 45 minutes until we were seen by a resident.
Brooke had a blast chatting with people, looking at fish in the fishtank, and terrorizing the hospital equipment. She was perfect until we got back in the room where they had to clean and fix her wound. Mommy was supposed to be her support but almost passed out during wound cleaning, so they had to swaddle her up and bring in extra staff to help. She was awesome, but worried they were gonna make her stay and kept saying she wanted to get up and go home. 4 quick stitches later we were ready to go home - it was 11PM.
Brooke cried once during the whole ordeal. When the popsicle they gave her fell off the stick and onto her lap ;)
