yup. that call. it makes your mother heart skip a beat or two and you find yourself asking if she's missing any teeth? (dental work makes you panic, only for the fact that anything to do with your mouth will be far more expensive to repair than practically any OTHER body part)
teeth all accounted for, however swollen lips, eyes and contusions of the face are in abundance.
(as well as a small amount of blood on the knee)
i hurry QUICKLY to the school and am greeted by Lizzie's two "bestest friends EVER"...they came running out (what SWEET souls they are!) and grabbed my hand to escort me to Lizzie. She was being tended to in the nurse's office by the school secretary. (i am wondering if that is part of her job description?)
She was a sight to behold...i will let you share in my experience. Needless to say, she is alive and well. She has a big dose of Tylenol in her and has sat in a warm bubble tub (who needs anything else, really?) and is currently watching "High School Musical" in my bed.
My mother told me there would be days like this...

Aww poor Lizzie! That looks sad!
Poor Lizzie...and no it's not in the secretary's job description that they have to be able to file, mail, do pay roll, order, hand out meds, set bones, stop bleeding, and make those panic causing phone calls to moms (all for nearly minimum wage!)
Looks like you got a blessing in that the teeth ARE all OK!! So what happened... really an ice slip?
yup. slip on the ice...big one!
I am so sorry. :(
The freezing rain and ice were HORRIBLE today.
Ouch...I can feel her pain. I have to admit those phone calls are really never fun to get. Thank heaven there were no broken bones...better yet as you mentioned no need for the DENTIST. PS: Congrats for Josh making the team...that is AWESOME :)
D**** the ice! That looks painful maybe Hank should come up and snuggle with her.
Oh, bless her heart! That had to hurt. I hope she feels better soon! I have gotten a call like that before and it literally makes your heart stop. So glad she is gonna be ok though! :)
Ohhh...that looks so painful. :( I hope she has a speedy recovery.
