Emergency Room Visit

I realize that this post is a couple of weeks old, but I just couldn't resist this picture of Samantha. As everyone knows, Sam is a very bouncy and energetic little girl. On Saturday night she was bouncing through the living room to come into the kitchen and as she turned the corner, her feet slipped on the hardwood floor that we have and she took a nasty little tumble. Unfortunately her thumb took the brunt of the fall and she hyperextended it pretty good. We didn't think too much of it until her hand started to swell up and turn blue. The pediatrician asked us to take her to the ER and have an X-Ray done just to be on the safe side. Everything turned out fine but she did have to wear a little splint for a few days to keep the thumb stable. She was very brave! I'd like to tell you that she learned her lesson about running through the house, but there have been many more stumbles since this incident but at least no more ER visits.
