Bloody Nose

So it's 4 am and Olivia is in bed with us. I put her in bed with me, with the humidifier on. I am supposed to have one on with the current condition of my nose. Olivia has a little dry cough, so off we went to bed. Eddie obviously came home from work later and joined us.
Liv woke up coughing and saying she had boogies and needed "tissue", so I grabbed a tissue and Eddie wiped her nose. When he went to move her hair, he said " oh no did you throw up?', so he turned the light on behind him, he couldn't see anything, though without his glasses that's not surprising! Anyway, Liv had her head turned away from me, but I looked down at my sheets and there were drops of blood on the sheets. So we sprang into action, I have never seen any blood come from Olivia, much less the mad amounts that were coming from her nose and mouth. She of course did not want us to wipe or hold her nose. I quickly called for my Dad's assistance, thinking surely he had seen this in one of us kids years ago. The blood kept running at an alarming rate, in my opinion. My Dad says I think you need to take her in... there was that much blood. So I called our fabulous pediatrician at 4:15 am, he said it would stop and not to worry, it is normal. OK! You know they are right but can't stand believing them when it's your child bleeding everywhere. So yes it did slow down, she calmed down... then Eddie says, this happened to me all the time when I was little. Good info to know sooner, honey, although I am sure it wouldn't have mattered in that moment. So after I try to remove blood from all my bedding, Olivia's clothes, many washcloths, etc., it's off to Target to buy more humidifiers and anything else that will keep another bloody nose at bay. Then early to bed for all of us.
