What a Night!

Rylie and I are back from the ER. What a night! Around 5:00pm this evening our new daycare lady called me and said Rylie fell and hit her head in the same spot as she had a few weeks ago. The thing that concerned her is that she could not walk and would just fall over when she tried, and her eyes were very sunken like she was all drugged up. I immediately called her pediatrician who told me to take her to the ER immediately. During that time Christa called the paramedics and when they checked her out they (and Jay, who arrived before me) decided it would be best to take her via ambulance. She threw up a few times at the hospital, (all of these are signs of concussion, vomiting, dizziness, and tiredness) and by that time Jay and I were really starting to freak out. So, the doctor came in and checked her out and ordered a CT to make sure nothing was going on internally. Man, that was terrible. Pure torture. No parent should have to do that, but i am glad we did to rule everything out. Her CT came back clear and we were able to come home. Right before we left our sweet Pastor and his family came by to check on us. What a blessing that was for us.. more than words. Rylie is tired (or whomped as my mom would say) and rightly so. She is now asleep in bed but i assure you we will be checking on her all throughout the night!

Right when i found out about all of this i called one of the guys in leadership at church to put Ry on a prayer list. He was the only number i had. After all was said and done i asked Jay if i jumped the gun in calling people to pray. He said "Julie, that may be why Rylie is better!" Wow did that put it in perspective. He is right and i thank you all sooooo much for your prayers!

I will keep you updated. We will probably be home for the next few days and i may even take Ry to our pediatrician to make sure all is well.
