First Trip to ER
Had a pretty big scare last night that required me taking McKinley into ER. I was bending over picking some stuff up and went to step back not knowing she was behind me and knocked her over. She fell straight back onto the back of her head. She started to cry so I picked her up and a couple of seconds later her eyes crossed and then rolled back in her head and she arched her back in what looked like a seizure. The whole episode was only a few seconds but I called the pediatrician and they wanted her seen to possibly do a CT scan and rule out a brain bleed. When I took her into the doctor they wanted to hold of on doing a CT unless absolutely necessary b/c you have to sedate babies to do them which would lead to her being held at the hospital overnight. He let me take her home to monitor her so I just woke up with her every hour until midnight and then every 2 hours. She never showed any additional symptoms and today is acting completely fine. I'm sure this will be our first of many trips with them! A couple of things I learned:
1. Never think you can get away with having nasty, greasy hair for the day and no one will see you.
2. This was the first day I had exercised since they were born, which led me to have the energy to actually pick up all the clothes off my closet floor which was when she fell. Hence, exercising is bad...
3. Which lead me to my third....picking up my clothes is bad...
