Lily's first bike accident
MK is on day shift this week (home around 6pm) so before dinner I took the girls downstairs so they could ride their bike and little tractor. Lily found Olivia, who also had her bike, so they were having a great time. Until Lily came off :( I was watching her...she took her hand off the handle momentarily, wobbled and lost balance crashing into the concrete seating around the outer edges of where the fountain is. There was lots of blood and Lily screaming blue murder. I took her and Charlotte back upstairs straight away. Lily had a bad split lip, some small cuts on her face and scrapes on her upper leg, inner thigh (which seemed to hurt the most). I wondered whether she'd broken her nose but I could touch it so must be OK.
Often you see parents giving their kids Arnica, the homeopathic remedy, so I gave some to Lily (the last time she had it was in Frankfurt when the pony bit her and the owner gave some to Lily). I also put iodine and cream on her scrapes. Hard to know what else to do for her. Lily blotted her lip with wet tissues to get all the muck and blood out. And before she went to bed I gave her Dafalgan.
Poor Lily :(

Hi Robyn, just a thought, don't know if you've seen it (or even found a better one) but for medical stuff try www.mydr.com.au has lots of info on it - might be of use next time the girls are sick, have an accident etc and you don't know what to do.
Thanks Ange, I'll check it out!
