First Trip to Emergency Room...Check!

Well, we had our first (and hopefully our last) major accident a few days ago.  Madison fell out of a swing at a friend's house and landed on her head.  Thankfully, her head is fine!  However, she broke a bone in her hand in the process and she ended up with a cast for the next 3 weeks.
Have you ever seen a child this happy to have a broken hand?


This was our family's first cast!




We have so much to be thankful for:
  1.  Sweet friends who gave us rides to and from the hospital, and kept K while we were in the ER (her brothers would not stay, because they wanted to be a part of the action).
  2. No head injury!  Thank you, Father!  We know things could have been so much worse!
  3. An exceptional first experience with foreign medical care. The hospital was clean and well-equipped.  The staff was polite, professional, and knowledgeable (and spoke English).  We left feeling relieved that should a greater emergency arise, we would have a qualified hospital to care for our needs.
  4. That Madison's fall was from a swing and not last week's mountain!

Praise Him!
