I Have A Headache

So...it's been awhile...again...but wanted to blog about this story just so I have it. I started this probably 2.5 months ago and then didn't finish so it may be a little blotchy. ;)

Mallory had an accident at daycare awhile back. She was hit in the head with an object that in my opinion (sorry daycare folks) should have not been an option as a "toy" in the first place. It was my first and hopefully my last phone call of an "emergency"...you know...the one where you throat gets swallowed into your stomach and you try to remain calm but your mind always goes to the worst possible scenerio. It was very comforting that the original call I received was from a dear friend that works at the daycare-she did such a wonderful job telling me to get my butt there in a calm yet fearful tone. Luckily, I was just a few blocks away. There is just something about pulling into the place where your children are being watched seeing a fire rescue truck out front with it's lights on knowing they are there for your child. UGGHHH.....breaks my heart just reliving that visual.
I won't go into details on what happened, by whom and how it was handled as that's not appropriate for this blog and don't want judgement made by anyone. BUT I will say...that Mallory was a complete rock star. She literally had a hole in her forehead from the wound and then the scary part was that after she was hit, she had a seizure and passed out. Thankfully, the wonderful first responders were there quickly and did an amazing job with Mallory. We were shipped off to the emergency room after quite the sight at daycare...you have two first responder vehicles (I believe) an ambulance and their crew, me, teachers, kids crying, Mallory just super confused on what the heck is happening. Chaos. Pure Chaos.
Mallory had her wound glued up and had to stay and be monitored since she did have a concussion and possible reason for her passing out after the incident. She didn't cry once....not once. Which I think made it harder on me....I knew she was hurting, I knew she was embarrassed about all the attention yet was remaining so tough.
She of course had to sit out of several activities and had to be super careful with her head obviously but she's all healed up. This will be a story to remember for sure....
