Oh, the drama and the trama for Kate Leslie

Kate is a wonderful little girl. In mom's opinion with an adorable nose. She is very unlike the rest of her family. She loves us and we love her. That is why when the accident happened we all gasped. It was at the cabin when we were all there for the family reunion. We were on our way there. Dad had to work so we got there after everyone else. All this information I got from someone else.

Kate, Austin, Sayer and Cooper were out riding bikes far from the house. With Austin and Cooper in the lead Kate coasted down the hill and tried to catch up. To her disadvantage the bike she had borrowed went out of control. She tried to turn as she went up another hill, but the bike tipped over. Now ahead of everyone she rolled down the next hill holding onto the bike for dear life. As the road levels she skids and crashes. Austin and Cooper being a bikes length behind her rushed to her side and helped her stand up. Blood gushed from Kate's nose and went all over her white shirt. Just then the rest of the bike crew rode up. Everyone gasped at the sad sight.Being careful not to tip her head back Austin picked up the sobbing girl and held her close. Luckily at that moment Nicole and her friend rode up in the car. Pulling over and getting out immediately. Seeing the mess of blood Nicole retrieved a towel and held it up to Kate's nose. Austin still holding her got in the car followed by everyone else. Once arrived at the cabin Kate was cleaned up and changed. Now more comfortable Kate stopped crying. Trying to get a hold of my dad Brandt eventually gave up and took Kate along with her mother, Bridget and Meg to the hospital back home.

So, there is the story. I may have added a thing or two, or most of it but no one would tell me much. Anyway what the doctor said was that Kate had indeed broken her nose. She came back the next day but left that night. Her forehead had some scabs, her left eye was so purple it looked like make up and her nose was swollen. She however was very brave. After everyone left the cabin Kate came to our house now with two black eyes on Monday. On Tuesday she was checked by a specialist and made an appointment for surgery. If they didn't it would heal wrong and look weird. This is when mom said, "Oh, I am so glad she will have that adorable nose forever." Kate got surgery yesterday morning and everything went as planned. She will have to wear a nose cast for two more weeks but will soon be as good as new. They also took her tonsils out and the poor thing has to breath through her mouth which dries out her throat even more. We went to visit her yesterday afternoon and brought her a cool coloring book, crayons, a stuffed animal and a get well balloon. We also gave her a card that we all signed. She will be just fine and just as loving as ever.
