Mother's Day started out pretty normal and ended with mass chaos. We all went to church and out to lunch. Evan got to have his apple pie and cinnamon ice cream at Lake Region. He looked as if he had died and gone to heaven. We all went back to my Mom's and started watching 27 dresses. Maryssa was out walking Logan when all of a sudden we hear screaming at the front door and the door bell rings. When Maryssa was around the corner from the house a 60 lb. dog jumped the fence and attacked her. The dog bit through her pants in several areas and blood was all down her pants. Once we got her pants off we could see that she had several lacerations on her right thigh and a decent size laceration on her left butt cheek. Once we got her cleaned up we called 911 and she and Evan rode to the hospital on the ambulance. David and I followed in our car. When I got to go back and see her she looked at me and said "Happy Mother's Day." After seeing the doctor, they only gave her two stitches to close the one on her butt because it was pretty wide. All of the other wounds were left open so they could heal and the infection, if any, could get out. She will go in 10 days to have the stitches removed. She has done really well with the whole thing. I think she thoroughly enjoying all the pampering she is receiving. She gets her meals on the couch, foot rubs from Mom and McKenzie, her chores done for her and Daddy carries her upstairs. We consider her very blessed that her injuries weren't any worse. Please pray that she will heal quickly with minimal to no scarring and that she will not develop a sense of fear towards animals.
