A trip to the E.R.

Nope.  No pics.  Just a little update.  We went out for dinner tonight because I had a late meeting after school.  (Any excuse not to cook...)

I was waiting in the lobby for Charles with the girls when Mia decided it would be a groovy idea to stand up on a bench.  If you know Mia, you can already guess what happened.  Just as I was telling her strernly to get down, she managed to free-fall off the bench directly on her head without breaking her fall at all.

Mia is super tough.  She gets hurt pretty often.  She broke her ankle in the same spot twice last year, and never cried a tear.  Tonight when she hit the ground, she grabbed her head and did the dreaded silent scream, followed by uncontrollable crying.  She was complaining of pain and dizziness, and AGREED to go to the ER...WITHOUT eating first.  Ummm...not like my girl.

Anyway, we have to watch her through the night and in the morning for signs of a concussion.  If she vomits or gets disoriented, we have to bring her straight back for a CAT scan.  Let's ALL pray that is NOT necessary!

Never a dull moment around here.  I long for a dull moment...
