Wow, just when things start to resemble some sort of normalcy in our lives, Sophie has to go and jump out of the shopping cart! So we were at Costco the other day picking up our weekly produce when Sophie decided that she would take a tumble and wack her noggin on the concrete floor pretty hard! The sound was pretty comparable to a watermelon being thrown and splattering against concrete. I've never seen so many people come out of nowhere to offer a hand or there bag of frozen veggies. She was pretty lethargic and then cried for a while and in alot of pain but once she stopped crying she seemed to be pretty coherent. It was heartbreaking to see her like that. So, we ran her by Instacare as to avoid waiting forever in the ER and they wouldn't even touch her since it was a head injury in a small child. So I called Uncle Dave, he's a radiologist, and asked him his opinion. He said that he see's alot of cases like this and 99.5% of the time there fine. Apparently this is a pretty common thing with small children, falling out of shopping carts and what not. So we decided just to observe her and treat her like she had a concussion even though there were no signs. Well, she has been pretty okay until tonight. The vomiting just started (literally as i'm typing this post) and we're on our way to the hospital now. to be continued....
