Well I know it has been awhile. We just got back from vacation in the Smokies and had an accident at the Bell Buckle Craft Fair on Saturday. We were just about to leave and walking to the church were we parked the car (this was the first time all day Brylee had been out of her stroller) and as we were walking along the crowded sidewalk in Bell Buckle my foot slipped off the edge of the walk and into a hole and the rest is just blurry. I landed on the concrete walk and thankfully Brylee landed in the grass. She is pretty scratched up and bruised and I have some bruising to my arms and knees. All in all it could have been much much worse. We were so blessed that there were no booths in that area and that she did not hit the concrete. She landed face down in the grass. We were very lucky to have great friend like Kayla and Kathy there who took us to a nurse at there church and she cleaned Brylee up a little but did recommend that we get her seen by the Dr. So, Jean at Dr. Barbara's office had always told me that if I needed her to page her and if she didn't respond, she even told me where she lived. So needless to say I made the call and she met us up there shortly after we got back home. Jean cleaned her up and said that it looked much worse than it really was. Her pupils and head were fine and the scrapes she said would heal with no scarring. She did tell us that it would look much worse today which it did. Her eye was completely swollen shut this morning but gradually opened up more and more throughout the day. She has been her usually playful smiley self all day. She does not like it when you get to close to it but will let you Dr. her up. I was so tore up yesterday I can only say that the good Lord was with us and I am so thankful that he was. Jean said that she will be back to herself in no time. She was so sweet to meet us up there and it means the world to us all. Please keep our little Taiter in your prayers and hopefully she will be healed up very soon. Her Daddy was going around the office saying ADRIENNE ADRIENNE like Rocky did in the movies ad now wants to go get her a grey jumpsuit to wear with a black toboggan and white towel to wrap around her like Rocky Balboa in the movie!
Brylee was so worried about her Mommy being upset that once she was all cleaned up she was patting me on the shoulder and hugging and kissing me to comfort me. What a little angel she is!

Poor little gal. Her picture brought tears to my eyes. I member when Shell climbed a dresser. The aquarium fell on her head. She had to have 4 staples in her head. They had to put 11 stitches in her little thumb. I thought they were gonna have to remove her thumb. I am glad all is well. She looks rough though.
She looks rough, but as you said it could have been a lot worse though. Just remember she is fine and all is well, accidents happen. She is still the most beautiful little girl in the world. And by Friday most will be healed!
Thank heaven it wasn't worse,,, it could have easily been. It's hard to stay calm when your own baby is hurt. You almost put your hurts aside for the time being.... will do in the prayers...
