Barrette in Hadley's back
Hadley is teething. She still does not even have her 12 mo molars and she is 15 months. Mia got hers at 14 months so im thinking any day now! Yesterday, Hadley had a fever of 102.2 all day. I kept giving her tylenol, but it wouldnt break. She was miserable. Thats teething for you! She just wanted me to snuggle her all day! Poor baby! Then last night she was extremely fussy. Woke up screaming every hour. And she kept flopping to her tummy, but we kept putting her on her back, but whenver we went in there because she was crying, she was always on her tummy burried in her blankets. This morning she was in a better mood, but when i was washing her up about an hour ago, she screamed. As i had her on her tummy washing the tiny little bit of skin showing on her upper back, I saw something in her cast. She did not want to sit still, but I made her for a bit. I looked and it was her barrette. But this time it was the kind where it has a little star attached to it, not just a flat barrette. So i panicked and tried getting it out. She was screaming! I couldnt get it, it was going further down in the cast. I was thinking OH NO, were going to have to get her cast off if I can't get this because it would hurt her bad if it stayed in there. This really explains why she was extra fussy last night and did not want to sleep on her back! So, i finally put the TV on and relaxed her a bit. Then i layed her over my lap and gently rubbed her skin. Then once she was calmed down, I pushed on her skin a bit to see the barrette and I gently got it out with a butter knife like i did the last! The poor baby. She had an engraved star pressed into her back. It was so red and looked so sore! There was a tiny little blister on it too... probabally from being in there all night. At least it didnt make an open wound because then chances are the cast might have to come off. I felt so bad for her. That must have hurt! At least I found it and got it out! She is sleeping soundly now on her back :) I guess were really going to have to watch her more closesly when we put barrettes in her hair. Or maybe use bigger barrettes that can't slide into her cast or softer ones.
