Broken Nose? Perhaps.

Last night The Peach was joyfully running and laughing through the house when she tripped and her face had the unfortunate opportunity to meet with the edge of a table.  She went from utter glee to extreme pain in a nanosecond.  I heard the collision and turned around and saw her clutching her nose.  I was expecting to see blood.  There wasn't any.  Instead I saw a very dark purple mark across her nose.  After doing a combination of holding her and trying to inspect her nose, I was able to get her to calm down.  After a while she was back to playing and she thoroughly enjoyed her bath.  I was glad that she was happy and glad that she could breathe through her nose.

Today the mark has faded a bit, but the SWELLING.  Yowza!  Girlfriend looks like she has a smooshed nose.  Oh, I am hoping and praying that she only has cartilage trauma and not a broken nose.  Oh, please, NOT A BROKEN NOSE!!  From what I understand, noses are built to be shock absorbers.  Let's hope that is the case.  For now it is a wait and see kind of game.  If her nose looks funny after the swelling goes down, I am told, a visit with a plastic surgeon is in order.
