Nashville: Family First

It was your average Tuesday morning. I had just walked into work, sat down and was reading emails. It was June so the weather was still bearable. It was a normal day. Until... 

We've had this issue with my Mother and her exaggerated texts. They typically go something like this... "Can I call you" or "Can you call me" or the worst "Call me now". No other information along with it, just something that seems extremely panicked. Of course when we get one of those cryptic texts we drop everything we are doing and call immediately. It is usually ends up being something like "I'm at Ulta, what is that color nail polish we like?" or "I can't get my computer to work... ok Mom, go here, click here, yes Mother it says it right there, just read the screen, No it doesn't, YES IT DOES, oh, you're right, it does...." 

However, this was not one of those times. I called and the first things out of her mouth were Jennie had an accident... I'm pretty sure I turned ghost white right then and there. Apparently she slid down the stairs carrying my 4 month old niece and Elle hit her head on the wooden steps. Jennie rushed her to the emergency room while Andy got Bennett ready and out of the house to go meet her. She had fractured her jaw in three places.

My awesome boss at the time was an angel. He not only allowed me but helped me find a flight for a few hours later so I could go down and help them out.

I spent most of the time entertaining Bennett so they could concentrate on Elle Bunny. That evening we ordered Chinese delivery for dinner, and watched a movie, and wrote out his name with the alphabet gummies I brought him. Then I read him goodnight stories, which was very special. 

The next day Bennett and I went to Yeast Nashville and picked up Kolaches! I had been wanting to go for years however, it seemed every time I was there, they were closed. Small businesses and holidays. Don't they know tourists come on holidays too!! 

My favorite part of the day was when Bennett and I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone! It was his first time watching Harry Potter and he loved it just as much as I did! We had a really good time. 

The next day I had to leave very early so I could get back for a morning client meeting. Elle was still having some issues not eating because, her jaw hurt. So they brought her back to the hospital that day. They gave her fluids and she was back home in no time. 

It was a very scary experience but Jennie and Andy handled it with such love and care. Elle is doing extremely well and just had one year check up and everything seemed to have healed nicely!
