Elizabeth....again!

O.k. so I don't have a picture for this one....Elizabeth comes to me ALL the time at night. She is definately our night owl. Anyway, tonight was no different. She came in the office telling me she had to go to the bathroom, her shoes were on her bed, she didn't want her babies on her bed, she is thirsty and yes, she has to go to the bathroom again! So the next one got me. She says, "Mommy, my silky (her new obsession because Emily has a silky) has blood on it from my nose." I am thinking....typical nose bleed. OH NO...not with Elizabeth. "Mommy, I stuck a head band up my nose and it is bleeding" I am not to panic stage yet because there is no headband coming out of her nose. So I probe with more questions..."Mommy, I put a headband in my mouth..." I finish for her, "and it came out of your nose?" "Uh, huh" I was talking to the other half of my brain (Denise) and she and I both said..."call the Pursleys" By now my stomach is in knots, of course John is not home, my mind is going everywhere...she tore membrane tissue, etc. I have a brief conversation with Dr. Pursley. He is on his way. The long and short of it. Elizabeth stuck a rubber band (the kind you put your hair up with) in her nose. It was so far up in there I couldn't get it out. Who says we don't live in a small town anymore??? A pleasant doctor who makes house calls....I love Fairhope and the Pursleys :)
