Monday afternoon I picked Kenzie up from school. I pulled in the parking lot and faced the playground as I finish my phone call. I proceeded to search the playground with my eyes looking for Kenz. I saw all of her friends/classmates but not her. I got out of my car to walk to the playground to inquire and a teacher stopped me and said Kenzie was inside that she had been hurt... blah blah blah... she fell... blah blah blah. She was being so informative and sweet but all I wanted the teacher to do was stop explaining so I could run inside to see what had happened. I just nodded at her and said "ok, ok, ok..." but I don't think I heard a word after "Makenzie was hurt...". I run inside and come around the corner as Makenzie comes out of the bathroom and WOW! I didn't expect it to be so bad. She was playing and was running really hard and ran into a metal pole on the playground. Here are some pictures. This is the first major injury for me as a Mom. More to come, I know, but its very scarey and painful to see your child in pain.
I talked to Megan Hergett last night and she told me Zay (her son) said Kenz was chasing him and Blake on the playground. She was a Monster. Zay said "Mommy, she was the best monster until she ran into that pole." ha ha Makenzie confirmed the story when I asked her, but in her version she was a MEAN witch.
DAY ONE
After we got home from school (Monday). She held ice on it for a LONG time. You can see her nose is swollen and her lip is purple. She has marks along her face. I took her to get a blue icey b/c her gums were a little swollen and it made her feel better.
This is right before bed the first night. The marks are becoming more clear and she is in MUCH better spirits.
DAY TWO
This was yesterday (Tuesday). Doesn't it look worse? The swelling went up to her eye and the scratch is so bad. We put medicine on it three times last night so it heals fast and doesn't leave a scar. Worst part is... OF COURSE, she has Soccer pictures tonight. She even said this morning "I am getting soccer pictures done with my face looking like THIS?"
This is her sleeping. You can see her little bruised nose, but she is so precious. : )

aww, poor Kenz!
Ouch, poor thing! I hope she feels better soon. I can only imagine the panic you had when you heard you baby had an accident. I would have done the same thing, in one ear out the other... just let me see my baby lady!! lol
Awww, poor baby! I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for her! Somehow, bruises and all she still looks sooo beautiful!
I know I be that way too, like "enough woman, where is my kid!" LOL!
She is still prettiest girl on the soccer team ;) Bruises and all!!
Awwww Kenz, you poor thing!!! I'm not looking forward to those injury days at all! Especially when you're not there to see what happened. The story the little boy told was funny though, lol!
Poor Makenzie!!! Lucky for her, she's still so young and she'll heal just fine!!! Your so lucky Karen to just now be dealing with injuries!!! I can remember when Derek was 15 months old we took the kids to the VA State Fair for the day. I took Harley to go to the bathroom and I went on our way back to Josh and Derek and Josh's dad, I see ambulances and EMT's and Firetrucks all around where the horses were. Never thought it was my kid who was getting all the attention. Now I was pregnant with Melissa so my hormones totally took over and I shoved my way through the crowd. I had one EMT trying to tell me that Derek swolled and choked on a peanut and was turning blue but at the time I didn't want to hear it and I told her if she didn't move out of my way FAST, I would help the process along! LOL Kids, they sure test our emotions, especially as parents!
I hope she gets better soon. She is a brave one! I have learned more times than not it looks worse than it is. I still freak out though even knowing that!
Oh my goodness... poor little Kenz! I'll be sure to keep her in my prayers for a speedy, scar-free recovery. She sure looks like a trooper though, just like her mama!
