OOWWCCCHH!!!

So last night I let the kids go outside to ride there
bikes!! Ellie has just recently learned how to
ride her bike w/o training wheels, but of course
she jumped on her bike w/o her helmet, but I
immediately got her back to get her helmet on!!!
So we were only out for about 5 min. when I saw
Ellie start to loose control of her bike and crash....
HARD!!! Her head was literally the only thing
that hit!!! It was one of those moments when you
just can't run fast enough to get there!!! I picked her
up and saw this lovely wound on her forehead, but she
was not responding to me and then she started choking
because she got a really bad bloody nose and it was going
straight down her throat!!! I freaked out because she didn't
her nose, (of course James wasn't home) so I brought her
in the house and she was just crying and not answering any
questions and completely delirious, so I called the ER and
they wanted to see her, so we took her in!!! All I have to
say is that if you want to see a Dr. quick at the ER...walk in
with a 2 screaming children and 2 others that don't
want to listen!!! (gage had a fever and a double ear infection)
So...needless to say they got us into a room very quickly and
the Dr pretty much followed me right into the room!!! James got there
a little while later and things finally calmed down!!! They observed
her for a while and after coming to the conclusion that she had
a pretty bad concussion and was going to have a really bad
headache for a while they sent a home!!! I am so glad she is
going to be okay, but it definitely was a good scare!!! Hopefully we
can keep the wound from scaring to badly, they said that vitamin E
would help so we will see!!! O how I love my kids:)

Poor Ellie! She's such a beautiful little girl and you're such a good mom! I'm glad she's okay.

from Lorena:
Poor baby! Good thing you thought to put her helmet on or maybe it would have been a lot worse.

Wow, that that poor little girl. I'm glad she's ok. Hopefully it won't scar, but a good scar always makes for a good story.
