Accident.

Last night at about 7pm, I got a frantic phone call from Alexandra to say Isabella had had an accident.  There was blood everywhere, she was about to phone the paramedics, and could I go over.

I tried not to panic, and drove to the speed limit, in a journey that seemed to take forever.

When I arrived Isabella was laying on the floor, with Peter holding a towel to her face, trying to stem the flow of blood.  And there was a lot of blood,

She'd fallen, whilst dancing around, and hit her face on the TV cabinet.

She was being very brave and trying not to cry.  Peter showed me the cut, which was quite long and deep.  But by now the blood had stopped.

The paramedics arrived not long after me.  They were lovely with her, as she was a bit concerned as to what they were going to do.

It was decided to take her to hospital, as something needed to be done with the cut.  They thought they might glue it together.  But at the hospital they decided it was too deep and needed stitches.  She eventually got 4.

Alexandra went to the hospital with her.  Peter stayed at home with Mia, and I went home, to wait for a call as to when to pick them up.

In the end they were only there about an hour.  Pretty good considering it was a weekend.  The hospital was really good to her, giving her icy poles, a torch to play with, colouring books, and a soft toy, a hippo.   She named it Graham, after the main paramedic who looked after her.

She seems to be alright.  Hopefully, we can get the stitches out on Friday.  Although we know it will scar, we are just thankful it wasn't any worse.

Hopefully, she will now slow down a bit.  But probably not.
