First and Hopefully Last

Today was a first for our family, and hopefully a last. After going to early church and coming home for lunch we had quite an adventure.

Hayes is an energetic and active little girl and has taking a liking to exploring our bed and all the pillows that adorn it. She took a tumble and luckily hit the bedside table first before hitting the wood floors (wood floors with concrete underneath). Had it not been for hitting the table first I think her fall would have been much worse. She had (still has) a huge knot on the back of her head and her back had already turned purple. Craig fixed a bag of ice while I calmed down our angel. With such a bad bump and hard fall I was pushing for taking her to get checked out. After she started getting sick, within five minutes of her fall, Craig was convinced we should go. So, the four of us loaded up and headed out.

Hayes does have a mild concussion but luckily the CT scan came back normal with no swelling, fluid, or anything out of the ordinary. We are very thankful. I sat next to Hayes on the way to the doctor and had a hard time keeping her awake, she was really trying to pass out...that was really scary!

By the time we were released to go home she was back to being her chatty, sweet self. She still has a huge bump on the back of her noggin, bruised back, and a bruise above her right eye (that could very well be black tomorrow) but we are home safe and sound!
