The Accident!!

So for documents sake I'm going to retell all that happened on Tuesday with my dear sweet Lilybug. So that morning really early in the morning I brought Jonathan to the airport to go on a business trip to Reno. We got up at 3:30 am. So after we got home I let the kids sleep some more and then wake Lily up for school. I got her out the door and went along with my day. This day I was feeling particularly sick, no fun. It came time to take Emma to school (sometimes I bring her in my jammies. Luckily I had gotten dressed that day), and on my way my cell phone rang (which I never have) and I missed the call. I see that it was Lily's school so I call right back and the principal answers, and says is this Mrs. Manning I say yes and she says Lily had a accident. My first thought was oh she wet her pants and I need to bring her more. The principal goes on to tell me that Lily ran into a basketball poll and had an inch and a half gash on her head. She tells me that she thinks they may have to call an ambulance and take her to the ER. Right now I'm freaking out, and not able to think a straight thought. I tell her that I'm right there at the school and I'll be right in. I had to lock my other 3 kids in the car. So as I'm rushing in I tell Emma's teacher what happened and that she won't be in school that day. I go in to see Lily and see that she's getting really sleepy, not a good sign for a head injury. I confirm that I want the Ambulance to come. I had to leave Lily with the nurse as my kids were still in the car. Outside there was a kindly lady that has a kid in the same grade as Lily and she offered to stay with my kids while I waited with Lily. As this is all going on I'm frantically trying to get a hold of my neighbor to take my other kids until my Sister-in-law Maria got there. But to no avail. So I decided to rush home and find another neighbor to take them. To my luck my other neighbor had just pulled up, so I ran up and pleaded that she takes my kids for 15 min until Maria got there. When I got back to the school I saw Lily with a neck brace and a back brace strapped to the gurney. This really freaked me out. What was wrong with my little girl. So I get in the ambulance and they tell all they did to her was precautionary. We get right into a room and Grandma Margaret and Christina was already there. Soon after Grandpa Larry, Joseph, and Bryan were there to give Lily a blessing. What a joy to have that much support in my time of need. At that time I was feeling really dizzy so I had to lay my head down on Lily's bed. She was so brave, and the only thing she complained about was the huge head and neck brace. The Dr. cleaned up her head and stitched it right up. Lily didn't even move and the Dr. said that had been his easiest one yet. She didn't have a concussion (thankfully). We left the ER just after about 2 hours (short amount of time if you have ever been to the ER). Lily was still disoriented and seeing spots but she got past that quickly. She will have the stitches out on Wednesday (hopefully). We went over to Margarets house and rested. Margaret and the boys returned later after going to my house to gather stuff for staying the night there. All this time I'm have the worst morning sickness I have experienced so far. So Lily and I had our first Ambulance ride and I hope our last, and I hope none of my other children have to experience that ever. Over all Lily is doing great and I don't think that the scar with show that much as most of it is in her hair. Lily has learned to watch where she is going and to not be in such a hurry. We are just glad that Lily is OK and didn't have something more wrong with her. I'll post a picture as soon as I get one.
