Fat Man + Fat Suit = Cracked Skull

We had an Employee appreciation Carnival at Lowe's this past week and they happened to have Sumo Suits. Alex and I decided to give them a try. As you can tell they are slimming sumo suits. During the sumo fight Alex fell backward without her padded hair/helmet and hit her head on the mat. Unfortunately the mat was only 3/4 inch think and didn't stop her head from hitting the concrete. 



After a short visit to Alta view hospital we had to take her up to Primary Children's hospital and they found a skull fracture. After a 3 day hospital stay she got to come home but has to take it easy for the next 6-8 weeks so as not to cause further injury. The moral of this story is that Sumo wrestling is never a good idea when it involves a 90 lb teen and a 320 lb fat man.
