not so much fun in the snow

Denny and Breana after a many hours of sledding.

Well we had a rather interesting weekend. Breana and Denny decided to go sledding together. It all started out fun! Breana wanted to show Denny a new hill that she and her friend found to sled on. They had me come out and take video and a few pictured. They had alot of fun together sledding and racing down the hill. Denny got tired of walking back up the hill so he came inside for a hot cup of mocha. I of course was already back inside because we all know that I do NOT like the cold. Breana stayed outside and went sledding with her friend. Her friend brought a tube out and they drank their hot chocolate on our trampoline. We looked out the window when we saw them walking up the hill with the tube. Breana and her friend got on together and started down the hill. Denny, Daniel, and I watched out the kitchen window. Suddenly, we see the friend jump off, we were waiting for Breana to jump off because the tube was heading very fast toward a house. The tube turned toward a drop off and a parked SUV. We were yelling "jump off" to ourselves! Then, we see her hit, head first into the side of the SUV going about 13-20 mile per hour!!!! Not excatly an image a parent needs to see. I ran down the hill in short sleeves and no shoes, falling down the hill several times to get to her as quickly as I could. She was screaming "Mommy Mommy". Screaming was a good thing because at least I knew she wasn't knocked out. Denny came out and carried her up to the house. We could see no sign of where she actually hit her head. She was dizzy, nausious,seeing spots, and stomach pain. I decided to not wait it out and took her to a minor medical. She was evaluated and we were told that she had a grade 2 concussion. The rate concussions on a 1-3 scale. Thankfully, it is not as bad as it could have been. She has been laying around since with headaches and dizziness. I think she will be well enough to go school tomorrow. We are hoping that she will not have any long term effects from this. She can not have any blows to the head for a while.
