A terrifying day.

Today our youngest daughter, Allyssa, had a serious accident during cheerleading practice. The details of the accident are not fully known at this time. What is known is that she suffered severe head trauma.

She was transported to a local area hospital where emergency surgery was performed to remove a blood clot from her brain. The surgery went off without a hitch. The neurosurgeon said she had a single bleeding vessel in her brain which caused the clot, and the swelling of the brain was significantly less than it could have been given the size of the clot.

She is currently in ICU. They are going to give her another CT scan in the morning. The good news is she was awake and responsive to all 4 of her parents, as well as her grandparents; she knew who all of us were. She had no idea why she was in the hospital. She said the last thing she remembers is her head slamming the floor.

For those of you who do, please say a prayer for our little girl.

When she gets better, Daddy is going on a nut cutting expedition to find out what the fuck happened.
