Watch out for those elbows!




Last Thursday Madison came home from school with a bruise on her cheek and told me that she got hurt at school. One of her little boy friends was running for the soccer ball when he accidentally slammed his elbow into her face. She seemed okay, but just wanted to rest. Throughout the day she kept telling me things that were bothering her:headache, neck hurts, tingling hands, weak legs, seeing white spots. We kept a close watch on her, but when about 9:30 pm rolled around, she started getting sick and threw up. That was the last straw. Off to the ER we went! She didn't want to go, but we packed her up into the car in jammies, slippers, princess blanket and her "kitty". The doctor said she did have a concussion and to keep a close watch on her through the night. She is doing fine now.

Apparently, kindergarten is more brutal than I imagined!

My camera was broken at the time, so this is a picture of her bruise today. It was much worse a few days ago.
