Another Trip to the Hospital

We spent last night at P.C.'s Hospital with Gracie. Yesterday morning Matthew was trying to be a helper by taking Gracie for a walk in the wagon while I finished getting ready. Well according to him, he was having her stand up to make one of her HSM poses for one of the neighbor's so they could take a picture and she was standing on the part that you sit on in the wagon and he thought she had sat down so he started to pull her and she fell out and smacked her head on the cement. He said, "Mom it was a very loud cracking noise." By the time he had carried her home to me she wasn't really crying anymore just sort of lathargic and saying I want to go to sleep over and over. Well not knowing if she was bad enough to take in, we waited it out through the day and when we were out to eat with the family she threw up all over and then continued to throw up 2 more times. They all told me to take her to the hospital immediately because this was one of the signs of head trauma. We found out that she had fractured the back of her skull and had gotten a concussion. The doctor's said that the CT scan showed a pretty bad crack on her skull and that it would take at least six weeks to heal. She also said that you don't mess with head injuries and should always have them checked no matter how big or little the fall is, so I thought that I'd share that with all of you. I just happened to have my camera with me because I was going to take some pictures of my mom with her sister's at dinner so instead I snapped these of Gracie laying on the hospital bed. I told her she was looking too happy for having a head injury so she stuck her tongue out in the last picture :) Notice the cute pajama bottoms she has on. They gave her these because she had thrown up all over the clothes we brought her in. I love P.C.'s Hospital!!! They are so good with kids!!!!!
