The school nurse phoned me at 9:30am, to have me come to school. Alisha (my 10 yr old ‘tom boy’) had been
in an accident during PE and it didn’t look real good. She might have broken her nose and or cheek bone.
Everything was really swollen. So I rushed to the school to see what the degree of injury was at. “OH!”
I said as I gazed at her face, nose swollen and cheek swelling by the minute, her cheek turning purple.
She was in a lot of pain. Alisha told me her nose felt spongy and felt like it might be broken.
The school nurse was very adamant that her cheek could very well be broken.
I took her home to evaluate the problem and started to run QT on her cheek and then her nose for about
20 minutes. The swelling was going down and her pain was subsiding. Within an hour the swelling
and the redness was going down, along with the pain. We took pictures with a digital camera.
I am not sure if they will turn out. The flash seemed to wash everything out.
We decided not to take her to the emergency room. Instead we took her to the optometrist to have her
mangled glasses straightened, and went out for lunch.
After she ate her lunch she gave us her devilish grin and asked, “Since I’m injured and I finished
my lunch, can I have some ice cream?”
By that night the red bruising was almost gone, and the swelling was down to just a little under
the eye. I ran some more QT into her cheek area, and then that night her teacher called to see
how she was doing because they (the school nurse and teachers) had figured that she would have
to go into the hospital for surgery.
I said the swelling was down and not much bruising was left. The next day was a field trip that
Alisha had been excited to go on. And the teacher wanted to know if she would be up to going. I said,
“She sure will”.
By the afternoon of the next day the whole thing was almost gone. There was just a little scrape
down her left cheek, and just a little more swelling under the eye. I asked Alisha how she
felt and she replied “Pretty good”.
I said, “Your face is really healing fast. There is hardly any swelling at all”. Being the brilliant
child she is, she said “The energy healed me”. Then she gave me a big
