July 3 Curse!!!

The same day 2 years later ...

Last year we babied Robert on July 3rd so nothing bad would happen to him.  I know it sounds superstitions and it was a bit, mostly it was just a precaution, but he was safe.  (in case you forgot - July 3rd is the day of his horrible accident involving a Frisbee and fire hydrant).

Well, today it was in the back of my mind, but we also just went about our day.  I didn't say anything about it.  Actually, I spent the majority of the day staining the back deck.  It was a huge project.

Well, around dinner time, Marissa announces that she and Robert were doing pull ups (running start pull ups) on his pull up bar and the bar came off the door while she was mid air.  She was up in the air about 5 feet when the bar came off and she landed on her back.  She totally had the wind knocked out of her and stated that she couldn't breathe at all immediately after it happened.  After catching her breathe, she realized her neck hurt and that she couldn't really move it from side to side or up and down.  That was when she decided to tell Mark and I.   Oh my goodness!  I hurt when my kids are hurt.

How do  I make her feel better and more importantly how serious is this - how do I help her heal?  This is Wednesday - the day before 4th of July, 2 years after Robert's accident, one week before trek, 10 days before EFY ... ugh.

We give her some anti-inflammatory and ice her neck.  Now she is on bed-rest (neck rest) until I say so...!!!  Demanded!!!!  No moving around.
