I got a call tonight while at work saying I need to rush over to
Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry's house as Jayden had fallen off the
golf cart while riding around the park with Drew, Steven, and
Parker. I was surprised with just how bad she was when I got to
Sun-N-Fun, and all she could do was apologize to me and ask me when
I got there. After she asked for the 10th or 11th time I knew
something was wrong and we needed to go get her checked out. A trip
to the hospital led to all kind of tests to make sure that nothing
was broken (which they confirmed, even though days later her hand
still hurt, leading to a trip to a specialist who indeed confirm our
worst fears - she had a broken bone in her hand). We were put on
concussion watch as well, but thankfully there were no lasting
effects indicating that was an issue. She still doesn't remember
what happened or how she fell, but otherwise she is making a full
recovery from what was a scary situation! Crazy kid! |
Golf Cart Crash Aftermath - August 13th

Jayden suffered road rash all over, including her hand...
|
|
...as well as both knees...
|
|
|
|
...and her toes...
|
|
...and scariest of all, her face...

Jayden was in much better spirits the day after the crash,
though in lots of pain. Bending her leg was probably the worst at
this point, which made moving around very difficult, not to mention
pretty much eliminating the possibility of going to her bedroom,
which requires climbing to the second floor of the house. No matter
what, she was a brave soldier, refusing help as much as possible,
wanting to do as much on her own as possible. |

Jayden was in good spirits the next day despite it all.

Her knees are still looking pretty rough though.
