Poor little Isabelle had to make a trip to the emergency room late Saturday night. She was being silly and "stole" Kelly's seat during dinner when Kelly got up. Kelly wasn't too happy about this and started pushing Isabelle off of her chair. Isabelle was trying to stand up as Kelly pushed and next thing you know Shane and I hear a loud "THUNK" (we were in another room when it happened). Poor little Isabelle let out a loud scream and sat up with blood running down the back of her head. Shane and I of course freaked out and Shane took her to the hospital. She had to get three stitches, the poor little thing. Fortunatly the hospital was great and gave her a little elephant to keep her occupied and happy. She had a little syringe with water to "wash" her elephant and they gave her plenty of gauze to wrap it up as well. The doctor said she was really brave and she didn't scream once while getting the stitches. We still have to keep an eye on her and wake her up at night to make sure there's no hidden head trauma (that should be fun). We also have to wash the wound several times a day to make sure she doesn't get an infection. I'm just glad my little girl is okay!

oh no!! poor isabelle, i bet kelly feels really bad. I'm so sorry! Hope she feels better soon - that pic of her is really sweet though - she looks so innocent!!
Oh, how sad. I sure hope everything is okay (no trauma). Maybe an important lesson for both girls to learn?
Sad. I guess that was a good lesson for the girls. I hope Isabelle feels better soon. I had my own experience with head wounds as a child and it is just no fun.
I'm sorry to hear that Isabella had a scare, but it's a good thing she's got great parents to have rushed her to the hospital and fix her up! Tell her I hope she feels better! :)
