Hope fell down our flight of stairs last night. She hit her head hard on the tile at the bottom. I usually have two rugs piled on each other at the bottom but of course I had moved them to clean and hadn't gotten them back where they belong, yet.
I was in my room folding laundry and heard tumble, tumble, boom, and a ear splitting cry. Loren and Zach were down stairs and made it to her first. I took her and checked her out. I could see a bruise forming on her forehead. Bumps that stick out are usually a good sign, ones that stay flat are not. This one started to swell, but not much. I check out the rest f her body and she seemed okay. However, I was concerned that she could have hit her head somewhere else on the way down, so as a precaution I took into the ER. Buy the time we got there she had a large knot on her head but wasn't crying anymore.
The nurses and doctor were great. They got us in and out under 1 hour. They gave Hope crayons a color book and some paper dolls. She colored for quite a while. She was up and dancing before we left.
They sent papers and instructions home with us with things to look for incase she has a concussion. She is doing good with no signs, yet. A little cranky, but she probably has a headache.
