While driving home to pack Jack's overnight bag (we correctly assumed that Amy & family could take him) we spoke with her doctor who confirmed that since she had been dazed for at least 20 mins at this point to take her to the er, which was our destination. While dropping Jack off she came out of her daze enough to partially smile at Connor.

When we got to the er (about an 45 mins after her fall) she started to talk a little bit and walking didn't go well. The only imaging the doctor saw possibly necessary was a ct scan but he didn't want to expose her to the radiation unless it was absolutely necessary. After 30 mins of observation he decided it wasn't and let us go home.

After picking up Jack and getting over the counter meds, pictures were taken. Attached is a picture of her head at 10:30 pm, the fall occurred around 7:45 pm. Happy to report that she is doing better today and the swelling has gone down but the coloring is starting to come thru.
Wow thats quite the Goose Egg. glad she's OK

Good Morning Peoples!

Eric - enjoy the movie.
Christ - have fun at the water park. if it rains are you just going to plan in the rain instead?
Whiskey - that's good news on your tank

I'm not sure what we're doing today exactly. I do know we will be cleaning up the sand that was under the carpet/padding we pulled last night (anybody know why it was there?) and pulling staples and looking at subflooring prices

Hope a great day is planned for all!
