538. Ten fingers all in tact. We had our first little mishap and ER trip with Kate. Her and Ava snuck into the off limits treadmill room to play...Ava had the treadmill on and a curious little Kate somehow got her fingers caught in the belt. Her scream sent chills through my whole body - I ran down, pulled the emergency cord and held my breath as I pulled her hand out. Thankfully her little pointers were all there - just badly beat up. I called my dad who was over quick to watch the other two while Doug and I rushed her to the ER. The fantastic staff ran some X-rays to make sure nothing was broken and treated the wounds on her 3 fingers. The surface area was so large that they could not stitch - so they treated as burns. We were SO proud of Kate. After we got her calmed down...she was SOOO brave for the nurses and docs. They could not even believe it. That's our Kate - she's a tough cookie - and was all smiles upon exit. I am SO thankful that we live in a country with such fantastic, prompt healthcare and treatments. And - that God was gracious enough to spare her sweet little fingers.
Proud!
This past weekend the girls had their dress rehearsal for dance and I could not be more proud. These three have put in hours of work and practice with their team. They have learned multiple routines, spent hours at the studio and have done it all with a smile on their face. They have been disciplined, devoted and cheerful through it all. Today I got to watch from back stage and was beaming with pride. I love the heart and energy they each bring to the stage. Their smiles are priceless. And I love watching them have so much fun with their teammates. And an added bonus...Doug is a prop dad this year! Proud of him too😊. And thankful that we have the opportunity to make memories as a family through the girls art.
