Picture this...
Abby was being diligent and doing her conditioning exercises for volleyball, Anna was playing her DS in the family room, I was outside picking bagworms off our pine trees, and Jon was at a meeting at church when I hear very loudly, "MOM, ABBY'S HURT!" Needless to say, I dropped my bag of bagworms and ran into the house. Abby had scraped her shin bone pretty badly on the edge of a chair and was visibly upset. It was one of those tough calls: stitches or no stitches? After consulting a couple of people, I followed my motherly gut instinct and headed to Children's Hospital, where we spent the next four hours. Sure enough, Abby had to get 5 stitches in her leg. (I guess we made the right call.) Finally, at 1:30 AM we pulled into the driveway. Here's a lovely picture of her cut:
THEN....as if that wasn't enough of an ordeal (the shots of anesthesia were quite painful!), she had her braces put on this afternoon. She's being a trooper through it all. I'm sure she'd appreciate your prayers!

Abby, Abby, Abby....I want to be there to hug you!
Your braces are rather pretty...your leg not so pretty!
I can't remember...have you had stitches before?
oh, my! Ouch. Uugh.
Hi Honey,
I am so sorry you had to have stitches. I had 9 stitches in my leg after an accident with my wheelchair. We better stay away from those chairs.
Good pictures of the Birthday Party. Didn't we have fun?
Love, Grandma.
Time to update the blog. I cringe everytime this picture pops up on the screen! Is Abby all healed now? Hope school is going well for everyone!
