Truck Tumble

Sunday night we went to dinner with Uncle A. We were in the parking lot getting to leave the restaurant, and Big Sis was standing in the back of the truck (presumably safe from traffic) waiting her turn to get buckled. For some reason, she walked to the way back, missed a step, and plunged head first onto the concrete! Not only did she come up with a Tom and Jerry style goose egg growing out of her forehead, but she must have tried to grab for something on the way out because she got a nasty laceration on her finger as well!

Needless to say, we spent the evening at the Urgent Care getting x-rays on both her head and hand. Verdict: probable concussion, laceration and contusion on her finger, but nothing broken!

She actually looks pretty good here. There is more swelling than bruising, so it's hard to see the lump on her head in photographs.

Regardless, she is a trooper! And it hasn't slowed her down a bit. Her finger was pretty nasty, so they put her hand in a splint to protect it while it heals.

She's actually found some pretty innovative ways to use her splint. Walk the plank Storm Trooper Boy!

Naptime...resting comfortably in brother's bed!

I'm so glad you're okay Sis! You gave us quite a scare!
