No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed....

January 10th Aniston had a big dentist appointment. She had 8 (!) teeth fixed as apparently the enamel didn't form all the way with her being a month premature. So she went under general anesthesia and did wonderfully! She went under quickly, came out quickly and didn't complain at all that day about her teeth bothering her. Well, that night Erik and I put her to sleep and about 10 minutes later heard, and felt, a huge crash and instant screaming. We ran downstairs (I thought she had pulled her bookshelf over on herself since she likes to "read" in bed) and found her curled up on the bed screaming. She was laying in a funny position with her arm under herself and Erik though she broke her arm. Well, I got her calmed down, Erik asked her what happended and that's when I saw her forehead. Little Miss had been jumping on her bed and clipped her toe on the bedrail resulting in a head first collision with her floor, which is wood floor on top of concret. It looked like someone had cut a golfball in half and glued it to her forehead. I gave her some children's Advil (I had gotten it for her teeth but didn't need it for that) and we put an ice pack on her head. After calling my mom, she assured me that if Aniston was carrying on a coherant conversation and was now calmed down and not showing any signs of stumbling or her neck/back bothering her, that she should be fine. Needless to say, I went to her room about 10 times throughout night to make sure she was okay. The next morning, her entire forehead was black and blue. Erik decided to stay home with her for the day.

We were all worried that she would be so sore from her dental work.....I guess we're lucky she didn't knock out her new "sparkley" teeth.

Pictures 1 week after the accident. Still pretty green and yellow, but most of the goose egg is gone.
