A BIG Shiner

Cora had an accident at Grandma's this morning, while Josh and I were in Indy. She apparently pulled a shelf down on herself and something hit her eye. No one was in the room with her, so we're not sure what happened exactly, but this is what we see:



When we ask her what happened, she says the shelf fell all by its self. She's probably afraid she will be in trouble, so that's her story and she's sticking to it.


Grandma and Grandpa took her to our pediatrician, who did not want to do stitches herself because of the delicate skin around the eye. So we have an appointment at the hospital in the morning with a plastic surgeon. There is a cut on her eyebrow, and another cut that seems to go all along her eye lid and around to under her eye. She took a long nap this afternoon and is in very good spirits. Please pray for her and the doctor tomorrow.
Sam summed it up pretty good, "Cora, you look like a monster on Scooby Doo!"

OH MY WORD... poor Cara. That looks like it hurt a lot and grandma must of been so worried (as were mom and dad, I am sure). I will be praying tomorrow.
