We went to storytime today and it was relatively uneventful until about 11:50. At that time, Colm climbed up on the couch to look at his new books, but before he could sit his bottom down he fell over the side of the couch, whacked his head on the windowsill and sandwiched himself inbetween the wall/window and the couch. Everyone heard him smack his head and if they didn’t hear that, then they heard the screaming afterwards. Colm doesn’t cry unless he is really hurt, so I was fairly alarmed. Then I saw the HUGE bump on the back of his head and was VERY alarmed. Lucky for us, Miss Pam, our handy dandy librarian was a nurse in her past life. She looked at him and told me to call the doctor. Yowsers! The doctor’s office gave me a list of things to look for, including: vomiting, seizures and uneven pupils. I am to call 911 if the last two happen. I have to wake him up every two hours for the next 24 hours and make sure he is repsonsive and that his pupils are even and repsonsive as well. Oh my.
