OUCH!

We made our first accident-related trip to the ER yesterday afternoon for our BRAVE Lola. She was climbing into a friends 3-foot pool and slipped, fell back...and smacked her back and head on the brick pavers. She screamed bloody murder (thankfully) as soon as it happened. I told my friend to call the ambulance because it was a head injury...and then I saw blood. She had a 2 cm gash in the back-middle area of her head. It wasn't gushing blood, but you could tell it needed to be closed by a doctor. So 6 of Orland Park's finest EMTs showed up, assessed the situation and gave us an escort via ambulance. 

She is so incredibly tough and brave. She was such a trooper through the whole ordeal and thankfully, never stopped acting typical Lola the entire time. I was asking her tough questions and she was acing them.

She has been showered with Love--and LOTS of Candy to help her recover from her family and friends. I know every parent goes through this--it's not easy. We are just so grateful she is OK. She has not complained once about her boo-boo and is feeling great. John & I cuddled her all night, so thankful the guardian angels were with her, once again. 

To pass the time while we waited for the Dr., Lola asked if she could write the names of her family. All I told her was how to spell them. So impressed she knows when (mostly) to use Upper and Lower case!

4 staples. She cried bad while getting the numbing shot but once that was done, she was fine. 7 days with the staples in to heal it.
