Oh My H#@$!

Today is Monday and it is typically my cleaning & laundry day. So much for typical! Admist my cleaning Hunter runs in and says "Mom, Sydney is hurt really bad come quick!" I assumed a little drama was happening so I ran outside to see 4 kids peering over this ledge screaming "Sydney fell off, Sydney fell off!" I grab shoes and hike down the weeds to find Sydney and her bike fallen off a 15ft rock retaining wall!

My heart dropped & stomach sunk and I assumed stitches, broken bones, etc.! I scooped her up and checked for massive bleeding and broken anything and then carried her into the tub. She has major scrapes and bruises but seems fine. Below are pic's of the wall she fell down and some of her injuries. She for sure had an angel catching her on the way down!

The wall she & the bike fell off
Looking down from the wall
Major Road Rash!
So Blessed!

I'm not sure I can take much more...chemo friday was enough!

I can't believe Sydney fell off that wall! She is so tough, can you imagine the drama if that was Kendell? Tell Syd I have matching scrapes from my bike too.

Oh, poor Syd. I hope she is doing better today. That is a long way to fall. I was trying to picture it when you called, but it seems taller in the pics. Syd is lucky she only had such minor things. She is one tough lady!

I can just hear you saying "Oh my Hell" Made me smile and miss you. Glad that Sydney is ok.
