Not the way my first Father's Day weekend with my 3rd child was supposed to go.
Wife was showing our oldest some stuff to do yardwork wise in the yard and tripped over a branch and fell holding our 2 month old.
ER said she was ok and sent us home Friday. She wasn't ok on Saturday so the on call pediatrician where we take our kids said bring her in. He sent us back to the ER. CT scan showed blood on her brain. She also had a seizure episode in the ER.
So we've been in the peds ICU all weekend, and moved to a floor later yesterday. She's seen surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, ICU, emergency med, ER... so many doctors I can't count.
Good thing is the head doc seemed to think they won't need to to surgery. It should slowly resolve over time and not harm her motor or developmental skills. We have to keep her on seizure meds for the foreseeable future, and they are gonna do some more tests today.
My hope is maybe we can leave by tomorrow afternoon if she continues to check out.
It's not the plan I had for fathers day ERA. Keep my daughter Abby in your thoughts and prayers. I'll try and update this when we get more info today.
