Scary Day
My mom is my day care provider and yesterday she took my boys to piano lessons like she does every Wednesday. The piano teacher's cat had just had kittens so everyone went to look at the kittens down stairs. My mom missed the last step and fell to the ground, dropping Ladybug in the process. They both fell forward and mom landed on her hand and elbow above ladybug. Ladybug landed on her face and chest on the floor which was carpet over concrete. After a 3 hour ER trip during which Ladybug wouldn?t stop screaming, we find out supposedly Ladybug is just really sore and has a few bruises. We are keeping a close eye on her left leg as she is favoring it. Due to the stressful day, ladybug fell asleep early (about 3) and woke up about 12:30am fussy, and wouldn?t go back to sleep. Mom is ok, bruised on her arms and knees and just feels horrible. I am still shaking a day later and am exhausted. My poor ladybug!

Re: Scary Day
That is so scary!
I won't carry Ellie down our basement stairs to put the dogs to bed at night or while I do laundry for fear of this. Not saying your mom shouldn't have been carrying her, stairs aren't an option for everyone. I just don't do it at home because I can avoid it and I've fallen before.
::Big hugs:: So sorry! Hope your ladybug and mom start feeling better real soon!
Oh my god. I am so sorry! I can't even begin to imagine how bone jarringly terrifying that experience must have been for all of you! I'm shaking just reading about it!!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I hope both your mom and DD feel better soon.
I live on the 3rd floor and have to walk down the stairs every morning. It's so scary sometimes because I am usually carrying other stuff (diaper bag, purse, etc). I refuse to carry him without the car seat I don't even like carrying him with without the car seat UP the stairs!

It is so scary... I try to be extra careful when carrying LO, but stuff does happen. I have definitely had my own share of spills (not while carrying him) - the IL's stairs are the ones that I worry about the most... they are crazy steep.
