She tripped and hit her forehead into the doorway of our bedroom.   It scared me enough to take her to the ER....she didn't need stitches so they then directed me to our family doctor to take a look.    Once the swelling settled down...it didn't look quite so bad (but still bad).  The doctor seemed to think it would heal just fine...with the help of Mederma.   It made for a crazy day...but all is well!  We are so thankful she is okay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/TPgma4IC98I/AAAAAAAAES8/crtItW6LGtk/s1600/008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546225184291354562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/TPgma4IC98I/AAAAAAAAES8/crtItW6LGtk/s400/008.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ...happily showing off her boo boo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18494213-5651464901241274601?l=adventureswithava.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://adventureswithava.blogspot.com/feeds/5651464901241274601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18494213&amp;postID=5651464901241274601' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18494213/posts/default/5651464901241274601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18494213/posts/default/5651464901241274601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://adventureswithava.blogspot.com/2010/12/little-bruiser.html' title='Little Bruiser'/><author><name>Ava</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02453214199935144822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/THFiC5BdI5I/AAAAAAAAED4/zlOloWGvc4E/S220/DSCF9553.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/TPgmbN2-JQI/AAAAAAAAETE/TvRd2FrnZhM/s72-c/010.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18494213.post-5966068283225520511</id><published>2010-12-02T14:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-02T15:00:23.895-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Grandma Great</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/TPgkUJWzmUI/AAAAAAAAES0/9Hy7Q5tiJIg/s1600/023.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546222869634324802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fTJw4v8BcZg/TPgkUJWzmUI/AAAAAAAAES0/9Hy7Q5tiJIg/s400/023.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Our sweet Grandma Great went to be with Jesus on November 20th.
