The reason I didn't get this actually posted yesterday is that we made a little detour during our day to the ER. Poor Roxie tripped on the floor and caught herself on her chin. No one was in the room with her, but came RUNNING when we heard her. We found her in a puddle of blood on the floor. Poor thing. It was quite scary. She had a huge gash on her tiny chin. There was no doubt she needed stitches, so I had Ashton get me a towel and call Doug, who hopped in the car and met us there. Christian grabbed Roxie's shoes, and some ice. I scooped her up and we were out the door. Luckily, we were the only ones in the ER, so they got us right in. They gave her a drug to make her zombie-like (no exaggeration here - it was SCARY) so that she wouldn't fight the stitches. I went into shock and almost passed out and they had to wheel me to the waiting room to wait until she was coming out of it. I am so grateful that she is OK. I know stitches are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, but it doesn't make it less scary in the moment. Here is a picture of her this morning with her teddy that they gave her at the hospital. You can't see the stitches because they are on the bottom of her chin and I am still too traumatized to take a picture of them.
How cute is she? The hospital staff was amazed at her sweetness and her kind manners.And back to Doug for a moment - I was such a mess, he drove us home and walked back to the hospital in the freezing to get his car. He takes good care of his family.

Little Jessica, I can't believe you were even able to WRITE that story. I hope you are OK. I know Roxie already is OK. I'm glad your Mom is coming. Perhaps she should help you guys and not your sis. :)
