Keeping the Dr. in Business

I was just thinking this morning that it had been almost a week since I blogged. I was thinking that I needed to think of something to blog about, or at least pull something of the back burner that I have been storing for a slow day. I should learn never to think this way. Whenever I wish I had something exciting to blog about, something happens.

I was talking on the phone with my sister Linda today, working on details for our upcoming family reunion when Emilia ran inside the house. "ELISE'S HEAD IS BLEEDING!" She tells me. Now my kids tend to overreact sometimes, especially when blood is involved, so I said, "Ok, bring her inside". So they all came inside and proceeded to tell me that Emilia had accidentally run into Elise with her bike. ("I didn't MEAN to!!! Elise was in the middle of the sidewalk....") I saw the blood on Elise's head and thought, well that isn't so bad. Until I wiped it away and saw two holes in her forehead. So, I called the Dr. to see if they could get her in. Then I called Kent to see if he could come home. (This is sounding an AWFUL lot like another incident that happened recently... I didn't get the camera out immediately this time though.) So, we went to the Dr. and Elise is now the proud owner of 2 stitches. 1 in each hole. The Dr. said it looked like she must have been hit by the "cog" of the bike or something. Here are the pictures.

You can hardly see it right?

Ow!
