Results of a Concussion

On Jan. 16th my poor little Chesnie got a concussion. It was a Sunday morning, Luke & I were sitting up stairs and the kids were all playing down in the basement. All the sudden Chesnie started crying really hard and Luke right away said "that's a hurt cry". Alex came up the stairs holding Chesnie saying she hit her head. Alex said she was trying to get up onto the stool and it tipped over and she fell back and it came right down unto her. The wood seat part hit her right in between the eyes. Right away there was a HUGE Blue goose egg. She would not even open her eyes, she was responding to us by wouldn't open her eyes. Then she fell asleep in my lap after about a half hour. I tried everything to keep her up, but she just couldn't stay awake. It was about an hour that she slept, then as soon as she woke up she threw up. The rest of the day she just laid around. Around 7 p.m. she finally got up and was moving around. We felt so bad for her, but she was okay. Poor baby had some bad bruises from it!
