Hoopa Gracie vs. the window

Grace took a late nap after visiting my mom. So it was no surprise that she was bouncy and giggly at bedtime. She bounced into Nate and Sam's room and was bouncing on Nate's bed. At some point Nathaniel kicked her. Not an "I want to hurt you" kind of kick, but a sweep your legs out from under you sort of thing. He does this to her on our bed all the time. He swept her legs and she went to fall back onto the bed. But she hit the window sill first.

There was blood EVERYWHERE.  Nate came in screaming that he heard Grace's head crack. Sam was screaming. Evie seeing the chaos began to cry and freak out. Daniel ran upstairs. I waddled over. and AJ almost passed out.
We cleaned her up and decided it was an ER trip kinda night.

 It took some convincing her that she was not going to die. Once she decided we were telling the truth she calmed down.

Within minutes of being in a pedi room at St. Lukes ( we didn't want to chance the drive to Tobey with a head injury) she was playing with the curtain, jumping on the bed, and messing with the light sensors. So much for a head injury!

Our nurse came in and Grace spoke with her. Grace notices a Cinderella picture on her tag and asked about it. The cheerful nurse smiled and showed her the sticker. Grace responded with " well... that's just creepy"

The stuck some meds on her head to numb it all up and put in 3 staples to mend her melon. The doctor we saw was great and attentive. We didn't wait long.


He gave her a Popsicle and let her choose a prize from the treasure chest. She was pleased. She came home and watched a show.
