Last night right before the little girls headed for bed, I heard an awful crying from Grace in the living room. In the time it took me to get there (not long!), she had a black lump on her cheekbone. I right away gave her some Arnica and put some Green Salve on for good measure.

This morning, it was actually lighter in color than it was last night! She’s still going to have a black eye, but it’s much better than I thought it would be. Do you think she’ll apply the lesson about not running in the house?

This picture doesn’t show quite the right color… it’s a little darker than this, but not much.
