I had a rough evening yesterday to say the least. Makenna, our 3 year old, was involved in a horrific accident with our 90 lb. dog that I would rather not go into (it wasn't the dog's "fault," it was an accident.) Unfortunately, Makenna did not fare too well and spent the evening at the emergency room. She managed to escape with a broken collarbone and some pretty significant bruising, it could have been worse - she could have been killed, but she is in serious pain. I'm having a heart attack and am just plagued with guilt, I was 2 feet away and just couldn't get there in time. It was just horrible.
I try not to ask for much but I thought I would go out on a limb and call on some of my internet friends to send her some well wishes. I realize she is only 3 but she would love to get some cards in the mail or some small little doohickeys to show her that there are lots of people out there that care for her. Amelia, our 5 year old, was also incredibly brave during this whole thing and I know she would love to get a card from a "friend." So if you think you have some free time to write her a little note, e-mail me at at olypen dot com and I'll send you our address. Thanks so much.
Oh, sweetie! That's so scary!
Email me your address, and I'll send a little something for the girls.

Poor little thing! She looks like she's holding up alot better than I ever would if I broke my collar bone. :(
I loved getting mail when I was a little kid so I would love to send her and her sister some fun stuff and a card. I'll send you an email to respond to...

Hope it heals up soon little one.
Hope mom is ok too. I can only imagine. Anytime they get hurt, it hurts us too, just not in the same way.
