Nothing stitching related here today, but I wanted to share just a few words about my daughter Katie.
She fell today at school and injured herself, pretty badly. Let's just say she was standing on the monkey bars and someone jostled her and she fell - straddling the bar and then fell to the ground. The fall to the ground is not what hurt her, it was the straddling part. A frantic call from school, a frantic drive to the ER and 10 stitches later in area that shouldn't have trauma until babies are born....well...that sums it up.
She's resting well now, but she's bedridden for the rest of the week. Would you all be so kind as to leave a comment to cheer her up? She's in a lot of pain and I know a few bright notes would make her day.
My sincere appreciation,
Vonna

Vonna and Katie-
ReplyDeleteHere's a great chance to do some mom-daughter activities... making a lap quilt, stitching a cute pillow top, or creating a cool bead bracelet. Hope Katie is up and about soon... and stay off the monkey bars!
Hugs,

Sending healing hugs your way :)
Ouch Katie!! Sounds like you took a rough fall today! Maybe once you start feeling better you can have some fun craft days with your mom! :) Let us know when you feel better!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon dear, sweet Katie! Maybe you can stitch a little while you are stuck in bed. Sending lots of hugs and sunshine from Florida!
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you will be feeling better really quick! In the meantime, let Mom take good care of you.
Hugs,

Katie,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry this happened. When I was 10, I was on my bike and the handle bars came off. I was standing up and pulling on them at the same time. I ended up with a terrible bruise (black then purple) where I would rather not have had. I remember being very sore. I hope you will feel better soon! I know your mom will take good care of you. I know going through this was difficult, but I think you are a brave young lady. I have been meaning to let you know I like your eye glasses. I wear glasses too and have been looking for a knew style. They look good on you. Vonna, give her a hug for me!
Hugs to Katie and Vonna

Oh Katie, so sorry to hear about your fall. Get plenty of rest and hopefully you'll be feeling better very soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my Katie, what an awful thing to have happen to you. Take things easy and rest. Things will be better in the days to come. Your Mommy will take good care of you.
ReplyDeleteKatie-
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident-I know your mom will give you the best of care and you will be up and around in no time. Hugs!
Oh my goodness Katie, that sounds so painful. Get lots of rest and let your mom spoil you :-). I hope you are feeling much better very soon! {{{{big hugs}}}}
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a speedy recovery. i know that your entire family will be taking really good care of you. Hugs to you.
Oh Katie, so sorry that happened to you sweetie. Get lots of rest and I know Mom will take very good care of you. I will be praying that you feel better real quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, sweet Katie,
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for you from down the road. What a brave girl you are. I heard about your accident at school tonight and everyone was concerned about you and thinking about you. Your sweet, smiling face will be missed at school this week. You are as strong as they come and we know you'll fight through this. Praying you are feeling better soon and that your sweet family takes extra special care of you.
Sending lots of Hugs your way,
Kelly, Hailey & Family :)
Katie - I am so sorry to hear about your accident. Get all the rest you can and know that you are in our prayers and thoughts. We hope you get well very soon.
ReplyDelete((HUGS))
Katie - sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you are feeling better soon. ((HUGS)) and prayers to you. And prayers for Mom too.....I know how a Mom feels when their kiddos get hurt. Suz/VA
ReplyDelete{{{{Katie}}} - how terrible! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom will take great care of you - I can imagine how sick with worry she is. She could probably use a hug, too. {{{Vonna}}}
Oh poor Katie!!! I hope you are feeling better soon. I like the idea of having your brothers wait on you. I think that would make you feel better real fast. Big hugs and kisses from Canada. Hope you are up and on the go again soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Katie! I hope you feel better soon! Let your Mom wait on you for almost everything and the boys for everything else!
ReplyDeleteTerri
Katie I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! As a nurse my one concern is that you're not in too much pain and if you are they gave you something for it. Kids shouldn't be in pain! Sending healing vibes your way!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Katie, that sounds painful. As a gymnastics coach and a former gymnast myself, I am all too aware of such injuries....falling on the Bars or the Balance Beam. At least once a week one of my girls takes a fall like that while performing. Very painful and also very scary. We have a prayer circle every night at our team practice and I will make a special prayer request for your speedy recovery. I hope you are doing better soon.
ReplyDeleteHiya Katie!!
ReplyDeleteI really do hope you'll get on the lightning track of getting well.
Think about all the fun things you can do while recovering, reading as much as you want, stitching as much as you want, watching as much videos as you want ... well you get the drift :D
You take care now! :)
Hey Katie -
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love and hugs your way all the way from Minnesota!

Katie --
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! Whatever you do -- don't laugh to hard. Watch sad movies or soap operas, nothing funny. TRUST ME!!!
Dear Katie, I'm so sorry about your terrible accident. I know it's difficult to stay in bed for an entire week...I hope the time goes quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of hugs and well wishes :) Staci

Katie, I am sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you feel better soon. Chocolate, TV and your mum always makes everything feel better!
ReplyDeleteOuch Katie - that sounds sore, but it also sounds like you've been very brave about it all, I've always hated having stitches put in *me* - they are much better on fabric!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, greeting and best wishes coming your way all the way from England! I hope you feel better soon :o)
Sweet Katie... Sorry to hear about your accident! I hope you're feeling better real soon.

Dear Katie, You should ask your mother to tell you something about herself that you do not already know, and you should also tell her something about yourself that she does not already know. This will mark this occasion in a happy way so you will also have something nice to remember about it. And smile :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! I am so sorry to hear about your bad accident!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have been very brave and now I suppose you are as famous as a heroine or a star among your school friends!
Try and eat lots of chocolate while you are in bed...it may be very helpful sometimes! I wish you to feel better very soon!
Hugs from Italy, and please, forgive my bad English!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are hurt Katie. Rest and let everyone take care of you! :D Have Mama dig out a sweet spring project to stitch while you are resting. You can always send your brothers or sister to get you a snack while stitching. Take care and do what the doctor says.
