Our Trip to The ER

What do you get when you take this wild girl...

standing on
this care bear bike (which is now outside)

that is on the kitchen tile?

You get...

That was our night Tuesday night. About 7:45 p.m., Elly decided that standing on that bike to watch me make jam was the smart thing to do. The bike some how flew out from underneath her and she went flying onto the floor, and hit the back of her head right on the tile. Let's just say it knocked the wind out of her and she was in a lot of pain. So we took her in to just make sure everything was ok. She hit the floor pretty hard and we didn't want to risk anything seeming how it was almost bed time. So we dropped Ashlyn off with Edie and Josie and we headed to the ER. They did a CT scan just to make sure her skull wasn't cracked and there wasn't any swelling. That was pretty cool to watch, I have never seen one done in real life. (just on Grey's Anatomy) Elly did really well. She was scared at first, and said in the saddest voice, "Mom don't leave me. Daddy, don't leave." It broke my heart and that's when I cried. We put a warm blanket on her and I hummed her a song and she calmed right down. The guy doing the scan was impressed at how quickly she calmed down and went to sleep.

Here she is after her scan

And here are Jared and I waiting for the results

The verdict was a slight concussion. Everything else looked fine. So we just have to keep an eye her. The bike is now outside and all items not meant for standing on are not allowed in the kitchen area.
