Ouch

Ok, so my kid thinks she's made of steel. Or something similar. She decided today to spurt blood from a hole in the back of her head. Well, let me back up. We were playing (near the entertainment center, bad bad mommy) and she went backwards. After she bumped her butt I was relieved because it wasn't straight back. Then she continued backwards. And back, and back, and in to the corner of the shelf. Oh yeah. We knew right away there would be screaming so David picked her up to head off the major screaming fit coming. All of a sudden he jumps up and says "She's bleeding!"My heart stopped. I was trying to figure out what he meant. Like, a trickle or a gush....oh my g-d, how much. Then he yelled at me to get a washcloth. As I threw it at him I saw his hand and her chest covered in blood. I flipped out and froze all at once. My mind was moving so fast and my body refused to go anywhere. Then I was moving and searching for a phone. I was screaming for a phone, I couldn't find one. I was going in circles. Finally I found one and called for an ambulance. There was so much blood.

I went out looking for them because they can never find our apartment. When we got inside they were sitting on the couch, Sam on his lap with the washcloth on her head. They looked at her and said she looked to be ok. It wasn't going to need anything and that unfortunately head wounds bleed like crazy. In that case, CAN SOMEONE PUT THAT IN THE PARENT MANUAL SO WE DON'T FREAK OUT!?!?!? There really was a lot of blood, and she seemed ok and after a nap ok'd by the doc she was up and about. She definitely has a headache, and is a little calmer now. But, nothing horrible so far (knock on wood). Scared the crap out of me. Cried for awhile, really freaked me out.
