Another Hospital Visit

Prior to attending Mount Barker Baptist Church on Sunday morning Philip tripped on a concrete barrier in the car park and fell face downwwards hitting his head and the bridge of his nose on the ground. He sustained an "egg" on his forehead, a heavy nose bleed and lacerations to one knee but thankfully had no broken bones. He was transported to the local hospital by ambulance (along with Pam) and after appropriate examination and treatment was discharged thus enabling us to be there for the balance of the service and then continue on our way to visit Albany and district with Gail and Bevan as planned. Yesterday after saying au revoir to Gail and Bevan who returned to Perth, we proceeded through the beautiful Stirling Ranges and then south to Ravensthorpe where we spent the night. Today we journeyed on from there to Esperance on the South Coast where we are enjoying the magnificent scenery. We plan to stay here for two nights and take in the grandeur of this part of W.A.

  1. You poor thing Dad, so sorry to hear about that nasty fall. I hope they checked you out thoroughly. Have you had any pain/headache since?
