My day has finally come! DH and I are on our way and will be at Swan in less than 2 hours!!!!
This is a much welcomed trip that was almost cancelled yesterday. My 6.5yo DD collided with a friend on the playground on Thursday. Yesterday we confirmed her nose is broken. The swelling is soooo bad (the pic is from this morning, the other is from the Braves game less than 2 weeks ago) but there’s no blood clots and it’s not offset so no surgery needed at this time. She’ll miss school next week and go to Gatlinburg with my parents and their friends instead. I think there are 5 couples and they’re all grandparents. She’s going to be spoiled to death!
She’d rather stay with my BFF and go to school but we don’t want to risk re-injury. I don’t think she realizes what fun she’s going to have even if it’s all “old people” (they’re mid-50’s to upper 60’s). If her nose shifts at all she has to be taken to ENT immediately to have it reset.
The most important part is that even with the swelling as bad as it is, she’s not in any pain!
