She also opened her presents so she could play with them the entire weekend. She got a pink tricycle, a Diego rescue pack, a caillou video, a fur real cat and a Dora blanket. She seemed to like them all, but mostly played with the cat and the tricycle.
Saturday after her nap we took Tori to the Splashdown water park. At first she was a little hesitant about getting into the water because of all the people, but after I got in, she came right out and played in the water for the next 3 hours. She only had a few breaks for food and to go to another attraction, but she loved the entire evening. She is definitely a water bug.
After eating dinner Saturday night we had her cake and her big brother helped her blow out the candles. It was so much fun blowing out the candles, they did it twice! She ate her cake and some ice cream with it. She seemed to like it all.
Sunday came and we didn't plan much since we had done so much the previous 2 days. We were just going to take it easy. Most of the morning went that way until around 1 o'clock. Tori and Ollie were in the downstairs bathroom playing with there Mama in there. Tori tripped on the door stop and went head first into something. She got a cut along her eyebrow that bled quite a bit. Tori cried and cried and that just made it worse. She settled down long enough for the bleeding to stop and for her take her nap around 1:30. Around 3:30 or 4, she got up and we noticed that her eye had swollen during her nap. While I gave her a bath, her eye started to bleed a little bit again due to the swelling, so we decided to take her to the care center.
We made it 15 minutes before closing time and were taken into a room to get her head glued back together for the 2nd time in her 2 year life span. This time, she would not be as calm as the last. She didn't want anyone to touch her boo-boo and she screamed. This caused her eye to swell and fill with blood, making it difficult to stop the bleeding. She was so mad at one point, blood squirted out of her eye in a stream straight into the air, just like on tv!
The doctor and nurse left the room and she calmed down enough for the bleeding to stop. That and a chemical called Let that I held on her cut to help it clot. The doctor and nurse came back in and immediately she started to get a little agitated again. Fortunately, she was calm enough that they could put the glue on her head and we didn't have to go to the hospital to have her sedated, which was the next option. With the glue and swelling it makes it really hard for her to see out of her right eye. On Monday morning her eye was swollen shut, just like the doctor said it would be, but by the afternoon, the swelling had gone down and she could see out of it again. It looks a lot worse than it is and she doesn't seem to mind it at all, she has been playing as usual. She's only tried to pull at the glue a couple of times because a few hairs got caught in the glue and she can see them. We've snipped them off so they aren't a problem.
Tuesday morning she woke up with less swelling around her eye and less black and blue. She was able to see out of it immediately. Wednesday is her 2 year check-up with her doctor, so we should get a good idea of her general health then. Hopefully by the weekend most of the swelling will be gone and we can all go back to our regular bed arrangements. Tori has been sleeping in Ollie's bed with one of us so she doesn't fall out of bed, while the other sleeps with Ollie in our bed. We'll have to get her used to her new toddler bed, which we had a little success with before the accident. She's getting to be such a big girl.
