H's mom dropped her off around 6:30. She had already had dinner, but Corey and I had not and we were starving! I called Camille to see if we could let H play for an hour while we went to dinner, she said "send her over." We very quickly grabbed her scooter and helmet, have to be safe, and jumped in the car. H was already putting on her helmet and immediately jumped out to play when we pulled up to the house. J, my niece, was already outside. The mosquitoes were biting so I ran inside to get the bug spray. Before I could get back outside J came running to the door saying H had fallen. I ran outside and looked waaaayyyy down the street to find H face first on the concrete. I sprinted and I mean sprinted down there to assess the damage. My first instinct is to check for blood, there was none...so I thought.
I reassured H that there was no blood and she was fine. She continued to SCREAM that it was her TOE!!!!! At that time Corey had made his way down there and we both looked at the toe then at each other and said, "we are going to the ER."
We got her in the car, made a call to her mom and headed to the ER. Where we proceeded to spend the remainder of our evening. The doctor asked us what had happened. H told him all about the accident in great detail. He asked what kind of shoes she had on....we all cringed when we had to tell him she was wearing flip-flops. I know, I know...we managed to ge the helmet, but no tennis shoes. I felt horrible:(
She was incredibly brave and never cried again. Not even when they did this......
Yep, that is her pinky toe...it looks like a finger!
Here it is all fixed up.
Here she is with her momma.
And with her daddy.
And here they are helping her out of the hospital.Over all, it was a great first ER experience. H is doing much better and is already walking on her foot...thank goodness.
