Staycation turned nightmare

Looked forward to our staycation at Amara Hotel last weekend. Everything started off well, with happy and relaxed moments in the room and good spread of hotel breakfast.






On our 2nd day of stay, we visited Takashimaya because Andrew had vouchers to be spent. Here's a cute shot of her exploring rows at Taka's cold storage.
Thereafter, we proceeded to Takashimaya's food hall for late lunch.
Ariel sat on the baby seat (unknown to us, it was faulty).
The table attached to the chair got dislodged and in a split second, before we could react, she fell forward from the height of the baby chair, crashing to the ground on her face.
Her tongue got punctured, suffered upper teeth trauma, gum bruised. Her face, her clothes, my clothes were all soiled with blood. Horrid Horrid Horrid.
(An aftermath for remembrance)

The divine thing that happened was, just as we were feeling helpless with a bleeding baby at the basement trying to think quickly what we should do next, Victor called out to Andrew. He was there with his family (supposed to be Sentosa but it rained). Like, how and why on earth were they there and we could meet in coincidental timing! He rushed us to KKH A&E.

My brave girl staying cheerful and positive while waiting to see the doctor and dentist.



Cozying up to bed sheets after the doctors' examinations.
As at today, she developed fever. Unsure whether it's related or not. But I'm praying hard for super quick and flawless recovery, and for this terrible incident to be erased from her memory.

Painful lesson for us - Never ever to take baby's safety for granted.

Her seat shall be my lap henceforth!
