...trip to the emergency room. Last Monday, while getting ready for the day, Autumn ran into the bathroom and tripped over Eden. She knocked her over and landed on top of her. I heard a crash and crying and ran into the bathroom, Autumn immediately exclaimed, "I didn't do anything!" Which is kid speak for I did something, don't be mad. When I picked Eden up I immediately saw a dent in her head. I just about lost my mind. I called 911 and before I knew it the firefighters, EMT's and police were here. My wonderful friend Tara arrived in the midst of all of this to take Autumn to school and very calmly collected Aspen as well. We went to the hospital in the ambulance where Austin met us. After a nerve racking hour, CAT scan and multiple traumatic tries at starting an IV (they finally put it in her head), the doc told us that her skull was fractured, but that there was no internal bleeding or swelling. I was so relieved. We had to stay in the hospital overnight so that they could watch her, but she was smiling and happy by the afternoon (once she was sure no one was coming at her with a needle) and thankfully has been ever since. She still has the dent, but we were assured by the pediatric neurosurgeon that her head will reform as she grows. We'll pay him a few visits over the next few months to make sure everything is going well. Thanks to my mom, sister and Tara for keeping my girls and thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, phone calls, and acts of service. We love you!
