Our Cecily
{aka. treasure-eating-one-legged-pirate}

It all started April 21. I just arrived at our church building to attend enrichment night. Jocelyn was holding the huge medal door open for Me, Ash and Cec and she pushed it a little more open for me and cut Cecily's little toe to where it looked like it was just hanging off her foot. At first I thought she was crying about a scratch or something but then I saw her foot gushing blood and I immediately began freaking out. My brother the nurse said it looked really "meaty" and suggested I take her to Twilight Pediatrics. I did and she had to get 5 stitches! (this is when she got the stitches out)


Then May 11, we were at the library and Cecily found a penny! It was very exciting so I told her she could keep it. After I had put them to bed I heard Cecily call out crying and coughing. I ran in there and she choked out "I swallowed my penny!" I quickly jumped into super mom mode and started pounding on her back and shoved my finger down her throat and yelling "CAN YOU BREATHE?!" I didn't feel anything and she was talking so I calmed down and let her stay up with me for awhile til I felt sure she wasn't going to die.

May 14, Cecily and Asher had found some yarn and were running it all around the house. I was working in my room when I heard a cry that sounded very similiar to the cry Jocelyn made when she broke her leg. I ran into the front room to find Cecily on the ground holding her foot. She wouldn't walk on it or stand on it so we knew something was wrong. Later that night when we put her to bed she was SCREAMING "My stomach hurts!!!" I thought it had something to do with the penny passing or trying to pass, and I needed to get her foot checked anyway so I brought her to Twilight Pediatrics again and they ordered an x ray for her stomach and foot.

Friday morning I brought her to the place and got to see the penny on the xray (I wish I had a picture!!!) It was somewhere in her colon and they said it would eventually pass. The foot they couldn't tell if it was broken or not so I went to see the orthopedic surgeon on Monday and found out her foot was broken in 3 spots.

May 20, I brought Cecily in to see her eye doctor and he told us that we needed to start patching her good eye to make sure her lazy eye that's been turning in will start working so we won't loose vision in it.
