ER episode

Last night we had quite a scare. After the teens Bible study we went over to Marc and Talisha's house for dessert. Their beautiful new house has hardwood floors throughout the first floor. Kassady was running around and slipped and fell backwards on her head. Lori ran over to pick her up and she was stiff as a board and not breathing. Her eyes began rolling back into her head and then she started jerking around. Lori started calling her name loudly and she finally starting breathing again, but would just utter these cry/moans. Lori handed her to me and Kassady started throwing back her head and closing her eyes. I kept on talking her to try to keep her alert, but she wouldn't respond in her normal fashion. Lori held her again and she kept on acting like she was going to faint. Her face turned extremely pale and her skin started appearing blue underneath her nose.

We left Trey at Marc and Talisha's and tore off toward the hospital. On the way, Kassady kept trying to fall asleep. We didn't know if this was because of the injury or because of being an hour and a half past her normal bedtime, so Lori kept her as awake as possible.

She was finally admitted to the emergency ward and after waiting for about a half hour or so was initially seen by a nurse. By this time her color had come back and she was tearing up the hospital room (literally). When the doctor eventually made it in to the room, Kassady was back to her normal self.

They checked her vision, her head, and ears for signs of a concussion or injury, but couldn't find anything. We took her home and Lori woke her up in the middle of the night just to make sure there weren't any lingering associative problems.

Thank God she's fine. All's well that ends well, I guess. Just a little less sleep.
