This afternoon as I was getting off work my husband called me(he never calls my work) and asked me what hospital to take our 9yr old to because she was in a bike crash. My heart about stopped. They were out Mt biking & going down a hill into a blind corner at about 18mph,she missed the corner flipped over the handlebars and fell down a 7ft embankment into blackberry bushes. DH watched it happen and couldn't do anything. He ran down to where she was and had to leave her laying down until he could asses her injuries and calm her. A nurse was riding by and stopped to help him figure out how badly she was hurt. Amazingly she was scraped and bruised and her shoulder hurt but that was about it. When she could get up two other couples walked their bikes about a miile bake to the car for them. She's so tough she walked that whole mile back (which is good DH probably couldn't have carried her the whole way). We went to the emergency room and got x-rays her collarbone is completly broken in one place and maybe another we will see an orthopedist tomorrow. I'm proud of how tough she is,she never complained while we waited at the hospital. She's sleeping now and I'm so relieved she's all rght. I'm thankful for the kindness of strangers,and for her now broken helmet(no concussion thank god)
