Miss Abigail

My sweet Abby certainly keeps us on our toes. The same kid who has trouble keeping her head up most of the time, scooted to the edge of her bed last night and fell out. Her left leg was tangled in the covers keeping it up while the rest of her went down. That was a great big stretch for legs that don't stretch well. She also hit her head on the floor.

So off to the ER at 10 pm. The antibiotic she's on drops her platelets, so we were concerned that a fall could cause a bleed, and she was having periods of lethargy and of course nausea, so we couldn't be sure what was up. She had a head CT, hip, pelvis, neck x-rays and eventually a neck CT for inconclusive X-rays.

Thankfully, no breaks, just some aches. We got home at 5am. I want to go, really? Hasn't she had enough? Does she really need to fall out of the bed? But I'm so very, very thankful that she's okay, I can not bring myself to question it.

She's been tired today, but otherwise fine with Motrin.

Lots of other stuff going on with her that I want to write about tomorrow. I'm so glad I started writing this stuff down. Not only does it help me to work through it all, it is really a journal. I wish I would have had it when my kids were little. Lots of people use their blogs as a scrapbook. I can never manage to get pictures loaded, but its still comforting. Reading back over the last 16 months reminds me of all Abby has endured. She is one tough cookie!
