Called Darling Daughter a few minutes ago. Happened to catch her in the ER.
She's been in what she describes as a minor bike accident and has an "impaled injury on her arm".
She sounded more or less OK. Didn't want to bother her parents, and has friends with her.
They had just given her something to 'calm her down' (it wasn't working all that well) and were going to perform a procedure that minute.
Didn't find out which arm, what was stuck in it, or what hospital before she had to go.
Since she's a Banana Slug, and the closest hospital to UC Santa Cruz is Dominican, that's probably where she is.
I’d say she’s a tough one. Gets injured and who is she thinking about? Not worrying mom and dad. I think that shows a lot of fortitude. I know who she gets THAT from! ;)
I’ll keep her in my thoughts and prayers, Nully.
Please update when you get the chance.
Oh, my goodness, Nully! Prayers immediately for my buddy’s daughter! Please let us know when you hear more!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Comfort and heal this precious daughter and make her arm whole once again. Be with her as she undergoes the healing process and help her to receive the blessing and encouragement of friends. Thank You that You are with her always. Grant peace and reassurance to her parents and help them to safely trust in You to take care of all things. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
And Since she's a Banana Slug, advise her to avoid salt. ;-)
Prayers sent for a quick and complete recovery.
Will do!
I pray that the Lord grants a speedy recovery to your daughter. Amen.
Speedy recovery to your little sweetie, okay?

Prayers up in Hebrew and English. ;-)

Update:
37 stitches, Vee shaped wound caused by what the eeeeeevil slime mom described as “a pike”. A pike??? “You know, like you’d put a head on?”
Darling Daughter says it was part of a decorative metal fence, with a spade shaped capital. They extracted if from her at the scene, so she didn’t wander into the ER fully impaled (unlike her mom’s toe-on-a-stick way back when)
They’re trying to decide whether to x-ray her for a possible broken clavicle.
Not one of her better days.
OTOH, I vividly remember her first attempt at solo two wheeling. She hit a retaining wall and cut her upper lip all the way through. While we were on the phone trying to arrange to meet her pediatrician at the ER, she came up and asked if she could go to the park with her friends? Ummmm, no dear, you have two mouths...
Right arm. Bicep level.
Prayers for DD. Sooner or later a member of the FReeper extended family is going to end up in 60Gunner’s ER and it should make for an interesting read.
Prayers that it is nothing serious.
Wow! Prayers up FRiend!
God bless,
GB
