Elia's Mommy had an "ooopsie"

Please watch your step!!!!!







On Monday while Elia's Mom was hand carrying some invites to a celebration/birtday party she is having after her dedication on June 25th, she fell over a stone in a parking lot while carrying Elia. The good news is, Elia only got a scratch on her arm, the bad news is, Mom has a bad ankle, a pretty smashed up knee and very sprained if not broken wrist. Mom ended up spending 3 hours in emergency, and finally returning the next day for x-rays and a splint for her wrist. As far as I know this morning nothing is broken.

Now this fall would have been exactly one week after Elia's last fall, which happened in Juarez Mexico, when the Visa photographer had them put her on this stool for her picture and then told dad to back away as he needed out of the picture. Within a blink the baby was on the floor with a split lip. So they spent the first half hour or so processing out of Mexico in the Emergency room. Dad spent the rest of the day with blood all over his shirt, and Elia spent it in a onesie with shorts.

One of their good friends who went to court as their witnesses for the adoption proceeedings told them "If Elia falls again, we are calling the orphanage"!" Then the friend proceeded to practice falling holding her baby in case the same thing should happen to her. LOL. Whatever works I guess. I would think a 10 pound sack of potatoes with a dozen eggs would have acomplished the task just fine.

Of course it is only a chuckling matter now becasue Elia did not get hurt thanks to the fact that Mom did take most of the fall on herself. Pray that she does heal quickly. It hurts to walk AND it hurts to pick up Elia the many times in a day when she has to do this!!! Also Mom is an accomplished pianist and Music teacher. She really needs this wrist to be Ok, and the sooner the better.
