Looking Good!

This little girl is a MONKEY
She climbs...and gets into everything.
She has an older sister who "helps" her do these naughty things.
A couple of months ago she fell from her little chair that is attached to our counter.
She sustained her first concussion.
She vomited 3 times and was pale as a ghost.
I was sick with worry.

A month later she tried to climb into the back of our car. I was not too concerned because I knew she couldn't get up that high. I went inside to grab a bag. In the meantime Addi decided to give Ellia a 5 gallon bucket to help her climb into the car.
She fell off of the bucket.
And sustained her second concussion.
She vomited 3 times.
Again.
I was a wreck.
Again.

Last week we had another close call. She climbed on the counter and happened to be holding my rolling pin (which Addi decided she wanted as well) and was pulled right off. I was in the laundry room when it happened. Again. I was SICK. I think it was a tender mercy that all was well. I don't think I could have handled another concussion.

Solution: She now wears this helmet.

From the moment she wakes up. Until she goes to bed at night.
We are trying to make sure she goes at least a month with no more head injuries.

At least she likes it.

It's funny how you go through the day and your little ones whine and drive you crazy and don't allow you to get anything done, but when something like this happens and they are lying pale and lethargic in your arms you wish they were clinging to you, whining, and driving you crazy.

**What a little sass you are becoming Bubbs. We love your funny little personality so much! I think you should know that both times you had concussions, Dad was able to give you priesthood blessings. Right after these blessings (on both occasions), you perked up, and didn't vomit again. I am grateful to have this power in my life and in your life as well. We love you little one!
