Another One Bites the Dust!

I do realize I should post pictures of the house, but this is urgent (not really, I just want to wait until the house is unpacked to post pictures). Ivy, being the daredevil she is decided to ride her bike down the side of our house.

Well, it didn't go as planned. I heard her crying and came out to see blood dripping from a gaping hole in her forehead, down into her eyes. I quickly removed the helmet, tried to comfort the neighbor girls who beat me out there, and applied pressure.


We rushed to the ER (thank heaven's I knew where it was) where she received five stitches in her forehead and two in her cheek. The forehead wound was too big for glue or anything like that. They had to pull the canyon back together. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of the forehead uncovered, before the stitches. It was a little traumatic. And the people in the ER waiting room who had horrified looks on their faces when they saw it uncovered didn't help.

As soon as we got home she asked if she could go outside and play.
