I was adding more materials to our garden beds, and wanted to mix it in by hand. It doesn't work so well to lean over with Faith in the backpack, so I set her down on the ground behind me. Well, that ground was not so level. She went tumbling over, and the worst part was that her forehead landed right on the wooden corner of an adjacent box. I nearly panicked, telling myself not to panic. It looked to me like her skull was dented in. I'm so thankful that Jon was home. I picked her up, not noticing the dirt on my hands, held her close and ran into the house, calling for Jon to come quickly and look at her forehead. He took her so I could wash up and get some ice. She cried a lot, nursing off and on. Jon held on the ice (frozen peas, really) and eventually the swelling went down enough to tell that her skull truly was fine - PRAISE GOD! All physical functions are at the same stage they were before the accident and she's her usual happy self now. She has quite a scrape and bruise that I can hardly look at without getting a sick feeling in my heart, but she's fine and already on the mend.

Thanks for the headline. :) We had company and I was only able to take a quick look at your post, so it was very good to know the punch line at the beginning. Give her a kiss for Grandma.
