Kaitlyn and the pumpkin

Michelle and Mark took
Sydney and Kaitlyn to
Blake's Orchard yesterday to
have cider and look at all the pumpkins.
This was Kaitlyn's first time to experience
the joys of fall at the orchard.
She did not have a joyful time however!
They had brought a blanket to put over
the straw - just in case anyone was
allergic to that!
However it seems a hard hat would have
been the thing to bring!
While the 2 girls sat on the blanket with
all the pumpkins stacked behind them -
a great photo opportunity! -
one of the pumpkins fell from
several feet up and landed on Kaitlyn's head!
Ouch!
This meant a trip to the ER - those are pretty
nice sized pumpkins and her head is
not so big!
After an exam and a CT scan it was
concluded that she didn't have
any bleeds in the brain!
However, her head does seem
to be swollen - and I am sure
she has a headache! And I just
think about her poor spine as it
had to compress with the impact!
That poor baby!
We appreciate all your prayers for
Kaitlyn that she not have any
effects from this unfortunate
accident!
Fall may not be her favorite time of the year!
