I guess emergency rooms trips are never a planned part of your day. That's where we spent a little time this morning. We went to the church this morning and as I was headed up the sidewalk I hear Rachel start screaming. Turned around and saw her on her hands and knees. I hurried over to her and then I saw blood...everywhere. If you've ever dealt with a gash on the head you know they bleed. She had blood running down her face from her head. She had skinned up a small area below her nose. I scooped her up and hurried into the church. Ben Weaver who has EMT training and is going to be a firefighter just happened to arrive right before we did at the church. I took Rachel into the office and said, "Paging EMT Ben". :) Ben helped me clean her and asked her what happened and where it hurt. I believe he'll make a great firefighter! We put a butterfly bandage on and headed off to Clarian West. Rachel did great, no fussing or crying. She held perfectly still while they put the Dermabond on her head. We followed up the ER visit with a trip to McDonald's because if anything deserves a Happy Meal I believe it's a trip to the ER! She had a cherry popsicle at the ER so I decided to clean her up a bit before we went in. She looked a little rough with the red popsicle and dried blood on her face! Here she is enjoying her Happy Meal with her hospital bracelets still on!
And here's a recap of our day from Rachel

Oh those lovely trips to the ER! We had blood shed today also. Nolen fell against the tv stand and got a cut above his lip. Not too much blood, but he then followed up with several bumps and red marks from falling aginst other furniture. This kid just won't give up, he wants to walk now, but his body is just too wiggly yet.
Awww, get well soon Rachel! Love, Aunt Becky
