Ingrid, a bike, and a sidewalk ramp


Hello


this week has been very stressful for me. Monday night at 9:00 pm Ingrid called me and asked me to pick her and I quote "I straight rocket launched off my bike from a ramp on the sidewalk". I got there in 5 minutes to find her face bleeding and tears in her big eyes, that so reminded me of Lex. I rush her to the UCLA medical center emergency room where we wait three hours to see a Dr. and get drugs. She had a gash on her chin, a fractured jaw and a fractured right arm. She was admitted to the hospital at 9:00 am the following day. She was released from the hospital yesterday after having her jaw wired shut to heal. Overall Ingrid has been in good spirits over this ordeal. She will be resting at home for the next two weeks and will be on a liquid diet due to her lock jaw! See the photo! Yawza:)

How sad! Poor Ingrid, I hope she feels better soon. That would be so hard to go through. Good thing she has such a great older sister to help her through it!

We need to see if Molly has a blog, if not we should talk her into putting one together. I will talk to you soon. Ingrid, ouch! I hope you feel better and that you are doing well soon.
