The Fall

I guess it was just a matter of time, with the 4 active girls God gave us, that one would need medical assistance at one time or another.  Today while playing outside in the beautiful sunny Louisville weather, Rose was riding her bike on the sidewalk, going pretty fast, when she swerved to avoid pile driving Ava.  Instead she fell off the bike and jammed her chin on the sidewalk.

An ER visit and 3 stitches later, our brave 5 year old was back and in good spirits!

Poor girl

The only good thing about getting hurt is everyone gets a special treat!  Yay for cupcakes!

Although she put on a brave face the rest of the day, and told her worried sister (Ava) that she was fine.  She confided in me at bedtime, "Mom, I really don't like stitches."  Poor Rose....it was a rough day for her.

This was our 4th visit to the ER in 5 months (1. Paul got shocked when working on the water heater 2. Madeline pulled her arm out of the socket and 3. Madeline busted open the back of her head when she fell into the tub in my bathroom).  Luckily it was only the first one that needed any work done.  Hopefully the ER doctors don't begin to recognize us by name!

Hugs!
