It happened about 7pm, June 25. Dad was in lowering my crib because the parents were afraid I would stand up and topple out. Mom was finishing dinner in the kitchen. I was practicing my walking skills by walking around and around and around the kitchen table. All of a sudden the chair I was holding on to started coming down on me! I let go, but by then it was too late. I fell backwards and hit my head on the tile floor. Then the chair landed on top of me!!! Mom rushed over to find me screaming and peering up at her through the slats in the chair.
The rest is a blur. We rushed to Quick Care, hung out in the waiting room where I charmed workers and fellows patients alike, and ended with a head x-ray. Dad is still recovering from the x-ray room. The nurses finally gave me a yummy blue sucker to help calm me down after I had to be held down on the x-ray table. Everything turned out alright and Dad was able to return to Scout Camp that night. I do have a nasty little dent that the doctor said would go away. But...here we are a month later and I still have it!
Do you like my blue mouth? My forehead is shiny and doesn't show off my injury, but I love the silly face I am making.
The next day: The red spots on the sides of my head went away by the next day. The dent? Still there.
