One Little Monkey......

One little monkey

jumping on the couch.

She fell off, bumped her head

and cried ouch!

Then she got sleepy

and little spacey-eyed.

She fell asleep, woke up

and vomitted to our surprise.

Then this little monkey's mommy and daddy

took her to the emergency room without

any hesitation!

Yes, our little monkey is fine now but she gave us quite a scare.

We got in right away. Two nurses saw her when she was drowsy and sleepy.

Then we waited for the Dr. to come see her for about 40 min.

In the last 15 min. she became perky and was herself.

The Dr. said that after falling, she had an adrenaline rush and then an adrenaline crash, which made her sleepy. But in the next 24 hours will be important to watch her. So we have to wake her every four hours and make sure she doesn't projectile vomit, have a seizure, is inconsolable, or has lethargy.

Poor Baby! But still a little champ. She has been doing fine so far. I hope and pray that she will make it to 11am without any difficulty.

I told Lover that out of the two kids, I would pick her to go to the ER with some type of injury. Sure enough, it was our miss-O; ER diagnosis: Head Injury. She seems to learn the hard way, for we have been working on disciplining her on standing on the furniture, waste-baskets, counters, tables, chairs, gates, beds, etc. It just doesn't phase her.

I asked her in the hospital if she was going to stand and jump on the couch (and also listed the above items) anymore and she answered, "NO" in a very low voice (that's her serious voice!)

So here's our little monkey in the ER after they discharged her to go home.

No more monkeys jumping on the couch!
