Yesterday during work I got the worst phone call ever. Avery's babysitter called the school and they transferred the call to my room. I could barely make out what she was saying because she was crying so much and Avery was screaming. But at least I knew Avery was still alive since I could hear her. Avery had fallen off of the bed and hit her head on the floor. I ran out of school without even telling my kids I was leaving and took Avery to the Texas Med Clinic. They said I should go to the ER in case they needed to do a CAT scan. So Tim rode with us to the hospital and we ended up waiting in the ER for a couple of hours with some "interesting" people. Natalie, our babysitter, came and waited with us also. Avery was talking and laughing the whole time so we figured everything was fine, but wanted to hear it from a doctor. When the doctor finally saw her, he just stared at her for the longest time and then started talking really slow like he was trying to break the bad news to us and telling us how she could have fractured her skull and their could be internal bleeding and they could do a CAT scan to find out for sure. Then he finally said that he didn't think that was the case with Avery since she was so alert and never lost consciousness. (BIG sigh of relief here!) Now we are back home and Avery is doing great.

I've heard head injuries are bad, they look really bad and can be bad...Alyson took a tumble earlier than that and was fine. Scary I know...hang in there!
