Natalie's fight with a 4 wheeler and a barbed wire fence. P.S. she lost

Last night I received a phone call from Natalie asking me if she could ride on her friends quad. Because she had just learned how to drive them I told her that she could. About 20 minutes later I got a call again from her friends mom telling me that she had gotten into an accident and she needed stitches. Apparently Natalie and her friend were going down a hill toward a barbed wire fence (which just had one row of barbed wire luckily) and she tried to turn away from it. According to Natalie she couldn't get it to turn and the the quad wouldn't stop right for her. She ran into the fence which pushed her off of the quad. Thankfully they were both wearing helmets. I rushed her over to the hospital where they took Natalie right back and gave her some numbing medicine for her cut. They came into clean her cut and she could fell all of the stinging from the soapy water so they had to give her some shots to help numb it more. That was the hardest part of the whole thing. She was begging me to make them stop. Begging for no more shots and stitches. Finally the numbing medicine kicks in and she was able to get stitches. She got 4 on the inside and 10 on top. They then did an thorough evaluation of the rest of her body. On her other arm she got 5 big scratches which were very tender and they couldn't move it very much so they wanted to make sure it wasn't broken. Luckily there was no broken bones. They cleaned the rest of her up and sent us on her way. Her hand got scratched and she was very concerned about getting it cleaned.Natalie today complained the most about her neck. It looks really banged up and bruised so I can imagine that it hurts pretty bad. She says that it hurts to swallow. We are glad that the big cut happened to her arm and not her neck.I felt really bad in the hospital I was asked to check her belly and I lifted up her bra to see the scratches and ended up taking off some scabs. Her shirt got pretty torn up when she fell and last night they had to cut it at the hospital and we had to cut it off of her last night because she couldn't get her hands up to take it off.This arm actually looks a lot better then it did. But thankfully now she can move it with more ease then last night.This is her poor stitched up arm. It was really gross to look at but I held her hand the whole time and tried to distract her by talking about school. Later she told me that I was being annoying.

The doctor told us that she had to sit on the couch and watch movies all day today so that is exactly what we did. I can tell that she is feeling a lot better then even when she woke up this morning so that makes me happy.

The little girl she was riding with got some scratches and almost lost her tooth. Luckily they were able to save it. To the mom... I promise it is okay. You did everything right. You couldn't of helped what happened. No hard feelings. Please don't worry about it anymore. It looks worse then it is but I had to blog about it because really my blog is my journal and I like to journal about all of the crazy stuff that happens.
