A Girl, A Table, and A Blood Curdling Scream

It was clean up day at the Liles' house today. Eric paid Rebecca a dollar to carry his laundry upstairs. She set it up on the table we have in the laundry room to get a better grip on it. As she pulled the basket off the table, the table moved with the basket and fell on her foot.

If you're a parent, you know that children have different cries. Let's just say Eric and I heard a yell like none other we've ever heard come from Rebecca. I was on the phone with a friend and had to hang up on her. We were down the stairs in record time.

It seems as though the table fell across the outer side of her right foot. It turned blue immediately. We got dressed in record time and took her to Lexington Urgent Care.

We waited 3 hours to be seen. The place was packed. They took her back and x-rayed the foot. Luckily, it wasn't broken. It's just seriously bruised. She was happy about that. They did give her crutches to use until the bruising went down and she could walk on the foot.

Her friend, Lexi, was so sweet. She brought Rebecca a bag of doritos, cookies, and gusher snacks. She is such an awesome friend.

Chillin' out with the animals that make her feel better.

Yikes, between Rebecca and Eric you guys might need to look into VIP parking at the local hospitals!

Glad it's not broken and that she's got you to give her such good TLC. Your couch looks really comfy too. :)

Poor Rebecca! Kelley told me she was on the phone with you when there was a scream and you had to go! Tell her I hope she starts feeling better!
