"This is the Way to the Emergency Room!"

This past Sunday, the whole camp staff was at a church where we did a morning service, potluck, and then an afternoon service, giving us, what we thought, would be the whole evening to go back to camp and have a fun night being together.

Well, on the way to dinner, McKenna was riding her tiny bike (it really was too small) and fell over. She must've hit her head on a small pebble or something, because it made a small, deep hole in her forehead...blood gushing everywhere...yuckiness! (We teased her and called her Goliath). :) She immediately looked up at Mike, who was using the tail of his shirt to put pressure on it to stop the bleeding, and said, "Daddy, I'm so sorry!"

We took her to the ER - which is 30 minutes away - to get it looked at. The Lord was good...there was no one waiting, we got right in, and best of all, she didn't have to have stitches; it just needed to be glued back together. She was REALLY happy about that!

So, we got home just when the babysitter was putting the older three to bed, around 8pm, and even though it didn't go like we had planned, McKenna is okay and we still had a little bit of a relaxing evening after the kids went to bed. :)


This is the "after", happy picture.

Sooo sad!

Her 2nd visit to this emergency room...the last time we were at this ER was the night she was in the car accident with Grammy. (We were thankful to just be there for this small incident this time!!)
