I fell down the stairs while holding Julia yesterday. I didn't drop her, but she was crying really hard for about 30 minutes
afterwards and I just felt like something wasn't right. I called the
pediatrician after-hours line, but decided to go ahead and head in to
the ER before even hearing back from the on-call doctor. She settled
down on the car ride there, which made me feel better, but she got
really upset again when I touched her knee when we were in the waiting
room. That worried me, but I was hoping it was just bruised or something. Then when she was being examined, she wouldn't
put weight on her left leg. I knew at that point something was wrong.
The x-rays confirmed that she had a fractured femur. They put a
temporary splint on her, and she'll go sometime this week for the hard
cast. I can't believe I fell and hurt my baby...but she doesn't stay
unhappy for long! Look at that smile!
I have some bumps and
bruises on my back and my neck is really sore today, but I am fine. I'm just so thankful that I was able
to hold on to her, and that her injury is to her leg and not her head!
Re: please be careful on the stairs :(
Oh no! Poor thing. I am so sorry that happened to you guys.
I fell down the stairs with Foster when he was about that age. Luckily he was fine, but I have been so nervous on the stairs with the kids since then.
And I have to add, she is so stinkin' cute!
ditto! how scary for you!
This....hopefully you will both be good as new very soon.
