A trip to the ER today....

Ellie and Reid's mom here. What a sad morning it was! Before church this morning, Brian and Ellie were down in the basement cleaning up and re-organizing a bit (since we had a garage sale yesterday and got rid of SO much!). Ellie is always Daddy's helper, so they were taking care of everything. I was upstairs getting the kitchen cleaned up. All of a sudden I hear this "WHAM". I thought a box fell off a shelf or something. No....it was Ellie's head hitting a wooden beam. Sophie, our 100 pound Golden Retriever, was down with Brian and Ellie. Ellie found an old leash and put it on Sophie. Sophie LOVES walks and got extremely excited and took off running. Ellie didn't let go of the leash, and was smacked into a wooden post that holds up our deck on top of the patio outside of our basement. Brian ran her upstairs where I was and was saying, "I'll get ice, then we are going to the ER." I had no idea what had even happened. It was horrible. Her head got it good and her cheek. She was also bleeding out her right nostril. Scary. To make a long story short, she is fine. She is a little bumped and bruised up a bit....but no concussion or any other problems to worry about. Thank goodness. What a way to start the day, huh? We are glad she was such a trooper, and she made us proud. Murphy's Law, I guess....preschool pictures are this week. Great look she will be sporting this year for her pics!!!! Gotta love it.
