Today as Grace & I headed out to go to school and work (on time even which was surprising since Brian is out of town and not here to help), I was locking the front door and Grace started to go down the stairs. This is normal for her to take off on her own since she is so independent. Today though she misstepped and fell down our stairs. It was so scary and one of those slow motion moments in your life and I couldn't get to Grace fast enough. I picked her up and she was screaming. I could tell she had a few scrapes so we went back upstairs and I tried to clean her up. She was mad though because she wanted to go bye-bye to school to see her friends and wouldn't let me clean her scrapes at all. I figured she was fine, but given the couple of goose eggs on her head I wanted to get her checked out. I knew the pediatricians office didn't open for an hour so I called the after hours number, left a message and headed out to an urgent care place near us. The urgent care place wasn't open yet so I kept driving to the ER. While we were driving our doctor called us back and said yes she should probably get checked out and said he'd call us in to the ER. We got to Swedish and we got in and out really easily. I have never seen an ER so quiet. The doctors and nurses were great and checked her over and Grace checked out fine.
I stayed home with her today to keep an eye on her and she is napping now. Although I'm sure she is getting mad since she keeps stirring as I check on her every ten minutes. Captain paranoid here is just making sure you are okay! Someday, Grace will understand.
Here's hoping the rest of the week goes much more smoothly!
