Boo Boo City

We're trying to make sure Katie gets to sleep over at Daddy's about once a month, if his gig and work scheduled permit. Last weekend was their 2nd adventure. She was pretty excited about staying over and likes packing up some toys etc. It's also cool because it gives him a chance to take her up to visit his family. There are TONS of little cousins just her age to play with and she loves visiting her Grandma's.

Remember last weekend, Katie's elbow got split at my parents' house? Well, the record continues (eek!). Let's try to stop that one at 2, shall we!? Doug is going to write about the whole story, but from the sounds of it Katie took a tumble and then a mama cat jumped on her (probably thinking the baby kitten was in danger). My poor girlie was all cut up and bleeding, so her Daddy took her to the Emergency room where they cleaned her up and started her on antibiotics. So yay to Daddy for taking such good care of the girl!

I had learned earlier this year that cat bites are one of the worst bites you can get, germ-wise, and can lead to some horrendous infections. A guy I work with nearly lost his hand earlier this month over a cat bite - so as soon as I heard that, my heart sank! This happened Saturday night and as of Tuesday morning, she was showing no signs of infection or problems. There's one gash coming straight from the outside corner of her eye and goes well up onto her forehead - that was the one that scared me most, when I think how close she came to loosing an eye. Shiver.

By the way, the last picture here was taken last night. Nothing can hold down that lovely little spirit, can it :)
