Ouch!

Wednesday night was spent in the ER. Earlier that night Matt and I had church meetings we had to be at. Since we both have to be there that means Blake comes with us too. This particular Wed. Matt was running late from work and didn't have time to change out of his dress clothes before we had to leave. It had also been raining all day long. We started heading down the apartment stairs. Well, wet stairs and dress shoes didn't mix well poor Matt and Blake fell down the stairs! Matt did the best he could to keep Blake from hitting the stairs, but Blake still smacked his head. Matt and I both started freaking out. Our downstairs neighbors come out to see if we were okay. Matt wasn't hurt, but we were both worried about Blake. Luckily he didn't bust his head open, but he had a huge red mark on his head and he started to act really drowsy and wanted to go to sleep. I knew that wasn't normal because he had just woken up from a nap. Thinking back to my girls camp first aid training I thought I remembered that you shouldn't let someone who just received a head injury go to sleep (the nurse at the ER said that was just a myth, but I want a second opinion from you nurses that are reading this). We got him in the car and not to long after he started to throw up. This made me really nervous and so we decided to take him to the ER. After waiting forever to get in the Doctor said he had a concussion and that we should keep an eye on him. I happy to report that Blake is doing just fine and the next day you couldn't even tell that he had been hit in the head. Matt and I are both paranoid about going down the stairs while carrying him now!
