ER trip last night :(

LCB34 · June 2011

Details in the blog.

Quick overview - I took my eyes off of Kate for literally a second and she managed to fall and smack her cheek on our hard wood floors. We had to go in for a head CT to check for internal bleeding and to be evaluated to see if a platelet transfusion was needed.

Everything checked out ok, thankfully, but my mom guilt is totally out of control over this.

I feel so, so bad for letting this happen.

I totally hear you on the mom guilt, DD managed to fall off a curb and smack the back of her head on it...made the most sickening thunk. All I could think was that I should have moved quicker

I can only imagine it's about a million times worse with how quickly things can get serious for Kate. Try not to feel guilty, though, if you could have prevented it, you would have. *hugs*

Poor thing! I'm so glad that it didn't require any more serious treatment or raise additional concerns. And do NOT blame yourself. These little munchkins are so fast and sneaky! Toodle fell off our coffee table this weekend with literally 6 adults within 4 feet of him, it just can't be prevented (although I understand that with her health issues it's of greater concern). You're doing SUCH an awesome job, mama.

Oh no! Poor little girl! I can only imagine how scary that must have been with her condition, but you are not a bad mom!! At all! Absent wrapping her in bubble wrap, which I wouldn't recommend, it's impossible to prevent them from doing something like that!

(((hugs))) I'm glad it all turned out ok!

I am so sorry Kate got hurt. I know the mommy guilt feeling. It just sucks! You are an amazing mom and Kate knows it! I'm so glad she's ok.

And she is so beautiful!

Poor thing. I'm so glad there wasn't anything scarier than a shiner to contend with in the end. You definitely cannot beat yourself up about it, though. You simply won't survive mothering a toddler if you expect yourself to be 100% there 100% of the time. Accidents will happen no matter what you do and are not your fault. Try to be as kind to yourself as you are to your sweet girl.

Poor girl and poor mommy. That mom guilt is so hard. I will be honest with you and tell you that none of us catch them every time. It just isn't possable to do that. ((((Hugs))))

JillRock96 · June 2011

Thank goodness she's ok. Accidents happen to every one of us, but I know that little Kate is more vulnerable than most. Prayers sent every day -- (((HUGS))).

craziheazo · June 2011

(((HUGS))) to you and Kate. Mommy guilt is so, so hard to contend with.

PS... I got my kit in the mail today. I'm doing the swabs and sending it back in tomorrow! I hope that sweet Kate finds a donor ASAP!

I'm glad that Kate is okay. Don't feel bad about about her getting hurt, accidents happen to all of us. Prayers for your little sweetie.

huge hugs sweetie. please don't beat yourself up--it is IMPOSSIBLE to never take your eyes off LO for a second, this stuff just happens. i'm glad everything is okay.

CandT · June 2011

Things like this happen every day to moms everywhere. Although they all feel guilty,I'm sure the extra stress of what Kate is going through makes it that much harder. I'm glad she checked out OK, hang in there.

j11skate · June 2011

I'm sorry Kate fell but I'm glad to hear the ER got you through fairly quick and it was all good news. Don't feel bad, falls are going to happen. I know it's worse though with her condition.

firsttogo · June 2011

How scary but I am so glad she is ok! Do not blame yourself at all.

browneyedgrl4282 · June 2011

First I am glad she is okay! Second, do not blame yourself! Accidents happen, all that matters is she is okay!

JM1977 · June 2011

I'm so sorry that this happened. Continued prayers coming your way.

Exactly.

I know you feel awful and I was so sad last night seeing that picture! Bless her little heart.

Go easy on yourself, friend.
