I’m starting an “injury” categoryPosted by Rick on August 4th, 2008

So Kyrie was running around at Grandma Lisa’s yesterday, and she tripped over some raised ground around their fireplace. She hit her face on the tile, and she had a goose-egg about the size of a marble (the smallest one lately) underneath her eyebrow. She had a purple eye when she woke up this morning. It looked like she had on purple eyeshadow. Fortunately it looks more normal colored already.

Update: 4:30 PM, added bloody lip.

Where’s that helmet?Posted by Rick on August 1st, 2008

So Kyrie decided to try to climb in the playpen today, like she often does, but she fell backwards, gashing her head open. Fortunately, it was on the back of her head, and it wasn’t too bad, but there seemed to be quite a lot of blood for bleeding less than a minute. Of course, all her hair was covered in blood and the back of her shirt had a bunch of blood on it.

We’re going to a Spokane Indians baseball game tonight, and I’ll be sure to bring my baseball glove to ward off any flying baseballs. I just wonder if we shouldn’t bring that helmet too.
