Yesterday was quite the adventure. Andrew had a dentist appointment first thing in the morning. It was supposed to be very simple and easy. Just some sealant on his back molars and insert a spacer. Simple and easy, right?? WRONG!!!! He saw the 'tools' they were going to use to put the sealant on his teeth and freaked. He thought he was getting a shot. It took two hygienists, me, the dentist, movies, many bribes and over an hour to get the work done. I felt like I had gotten my workout for the day. I was sweating by the time we left. The good news, he doesn't have to go back until August for a cleaning. Woohoo!!!
After preschool Ally decided she wanted to go play at her friend Olivia's house. I told her that was fine so off she went. Olivia lives two houses down from us so I don't have a problem with her running over there. I was getting Vanessa down for her nap when I heard the screaming. Ally has a scream for crying when she is hurt so I knew by the way she was crying, it was bad. I quickly put Vanessa and ran to the door. Ally said she slipped and fell on Olivia's driveway. I asked her where she hurt and she automatically grabbed the back of her head. When I reached back and felt I found a large bump. She finally calmed down and decided to play with her friends. After about 15 minutes of playing she came and told me she didn't want play anymore. If you know Ally you know she is not like that. She would play with her friends all day and night if I let her. I put her in my room with a movie. I decided to go check on her after a bit 'cause she was being so quiet and found her curled up in my bed fast asleep. After texts back and forth with Jim I decided to call the doctor's office and see what they said. They told me to bring her right in. Can I just say how much I LOVE my pediatrician's office?? They are amazing!! They were booked through the end of the day but told me to come in and they would fit her in. This is the second time they have done this for me. When Vanessa had her ear infection right before Christmas they stayed after hours to see her. The doctor checked her and low and behold, she had a concussion. This is the second one she has had in her short five years of life. Luckily there was no bleeding or anything like that. At bedtime she was still complaining about her head hurting but she thankfully slept well last night and woke up feeling fine this morning. I am so thankful she is okay and it wasn't too bad.

Oh no! I didn't know she fell in my da*#ned driveway...I hate it, it is too slippery! Olivia told me Ally had told her and Henry she didn't want to play anymore, and I thought that was odd too, unless they were not being fun friends...anyway, how sad! I know nothing about concussions-good to know I can ask you if/when this happens to us! Yikes!
What a day for mommy! Dad's never really understand what trauma and stress we go through huh? lets go get a drink, that will solve all of life's problems.... well at least for a few minutes!
WOW! That is so scary! I am glad she will be okay . . . what a hard day for all of you.
