As I understand it, Lily and Roy were heading down on a big green plastic sled, a fast sled. This was their last run, then they were coming back to the lodge. They were going really fast. Roy was in back with one arm around Lily, and he was trying to slow them down with his other arm. They hit a bump, and Roy lost his grip on Lily. She went tumbling over the front of the sled, and ended up with her boots up by Roy's face. He rolled off the sled when he realized she fell off. Her nose was bleeding all over the place and wasn't stopping. You should see her coat, scarf, hat, snowpants, and boots. We're attempting to wash everything in cold water right now.
Anyway, Pastor Nate was going up the hill and saw it happen, so he helped Roy get her to the lodge at the bottom of the hill. I was in a different lodge but this one was closer and occupied by another private party. Roy took Lily to the bathroom and got her somewhat cleaned up. She managed to stop crying so her nose would stop bleeding.
I was at the other lodge having a great time playing Scrabble with some ladies, when Roy came in with Lily. The first thing I noticed was her coat covered (okay - not covered) in blood! Her nose was still bleeding some, but not bad. She had some scrapes on her face and her left eye and cheek were swelling up. Roy had the first aid kit from the car, but we were out of band-aids. I cleaned her up with some wipes and put a butterfly closure bandage on the cut on top of her nose - that cured it all. She's pretty banged up, and she'll be sore tomorrow for sure. We're just thankful to God that she didn't break anything or need stitches. I'll try to post some "Before and After" pictures.
1. At the top of the hill.
2. Recuperating at home.
3. Put on a happy face. The redness on her cheek is all scrapes, it doesn't look so good in person.
