The Fight

Teryn continues to sleep in her small/travel pack n play in our bedroom at night. her bedroom is completely on the other side of the house and I am still not comfortable with her being more than a few feet away at night. It is so convenient to lean over and peek in her bed to make sure she is okay and hasn't completely wrapped herself in her apnea cords or feeding tube (yep it happens a lot). She still has a genuine apnea now and then and it is much easier to keep an eye on her when she is closer. So, enough of my excuses and on to the explanation of the pictures below.
During our Easter trip to visit Granny we stayed in a hotel and took Teryn's bed with us. We noticed how she has gotten so long and can't completely stretcher herself out in it anymore. When we returned home I kept the small bed packed and unpacked the larger one. The next morning when Teryn woke up I noticed that her nose was red. She rubs her face on blankets and the floor a lot so I figured that is what she did. Then the next day when I got her up it was even worse. There was blood on her blanket, clothes, and even her glow worm. As I investigated I noticed blood all over the mesh on the side of her bed. She had scooted herself over to the side of the bed and was rubbing her face like she does when she is mad. She rubbed it over and over on the mesh which rubbed her nose raw and made it bleed which made her mad and probably made her rub her head more. Needless to say I made some modifications with the bend bumpers we got from the hospital and now it is harder for her to get to the mesh. Not impossible, because our problem solver of a girl has now figured out how to get them out of her way. Luckily, not more fights with the mesh though.
Here is a look at her poor little nose:
