A real bummer

Hi everybody!
So, we had quite an eventful morn at the Bishop household. We were headed to church this am and I had on high-heels and I grabbed Ali to go downstairs and my heel snagged just enough on my 1st step that I lost my footing. So, needless to say, Ali and I took a tumble down our 15 stairs. We came to a sudden halt at the baby gate. I knew that she had hit her head some on the gate but I didn't know what the rest of her body had done while we fell. I knew that I had held onto her the whole time. After 10 minutes or so she had settled down some, but not a ton and WOULD NOT bear weight on her legs. SO...off to the ER we headed and yes, unfortunately, she fractured both bones in her left lower leg. She is splinted for now and we go see a Pediatric Ortho person sometime this week for our hard cast.
Please, please keep us in your prayers. Pray for patience for both Ali, Chris, and I. She gets pretty frustrated since she can't walk. Pray for pain control. Pray for a quick recovery. Pray for a good heal. Thank you!

ps....I seem to be okay. Just some bruises and a super sore shoulder blade.

Ali,
We are so sad that you have to deal with a fractured leg but we know that you are very determined and your determination will help you through all this. We are praying for you and the other things that Momma listed. Don't be too hard on Daddy and Momma, they are there to help you:-) We are so thankful that you and Momma did not suffer worse injuries.
We love you,
Gr Bobby and Gr Fifi

Poor Ali and Mommy! So sorry to hear what happened! I know it must be so hard for both of you, and for Chris as he tries to help you both get through this! Hopefully her cast is short-lived and she will get it off in time for summer fun! Lots of thoughts and prayers from us!
