Asher took a major fall down our stairs today (Tues. Feb. 17th) wearing his duvet cover like a mummy. I didn't see it happen but heard him smack his head on our wood floor. I thought he had just fallen while walking around but then he told me he fell down the whole flight of stairs. I guess he had inch wormed his little self up and then fell. He promptly fell asleep right after his fall and when I woke him was very out of it, & couldn't tell me his name, or his brother's names.
Matt got home and we dropped off boys with friends thank you Carie! (oh how I wish we lived closer to family at times like this!) and we took him to the ER. He started throwing up on the way there which is another sign of a concussion and also fell "asleep" a couple more times. Long story short and a CT scan later, he has a concussion, major headache and sore bones and continues to throw up. No internal damage though. He looked so tiny/pitiful in the big CT machine and held perfectly still like they asked him too, even when the scanner wasn't working at first!
Right after the fall, still in his cocoon.
When I said, "Come on Ash, you need to wake up." He kept saying, "but I wike sweep, I want to sweep."
After our adventure to the ER he had perked up quite a bit and was calling the throw up bag they gave us his hat. He's been great since the incident minus some moodiness. Not sure how much of that is from the concussion or from being three.
Matt & I both hugged our children a little tighter that night. So thankful our little family is safe.
