occipital fracture

I know that I haven't been on here in a few weeks and I do have numerous things that I need to post and more events coming up but I wanted to update everyone on how Sweet Pea is. For those who don't know...
Thursday evening, Sweet Pea was standing on the kitchen counter, getting stuff out of the cabinet to assist with cooking supper. Hindsight, yes it was not a good idea to let her stand up there but she does it all of the time. It will be stopped now though. Anyway, she stepped off backwards and busted her head pretty hard. We took her to the ER and an examination and CT scan and three hours later, we were informed that we would be staying all night. They observed Sweet Pea all night and let us go Friday afternoon. She has a fractured skull, to put it simply. The fall really done a number on her noggin and now I am a freaked mommy. It was the first hospital stay we have had with one of the kids. If you recall, Sweet Pea had staples in her head almost 1 1/2 years ago when she fell at school. Pumpkin Pie has had a broken finger. But nothing prepares you for this kind of trauma. I was terrified of the long term damage and I have observed her for the past two nights as well. She acts like she feels fine, other than a tender head and some minor headaches.
I realized today how thankful I am to be a mom and to be entrusted by God with my precious children. Having one of your children in a life threatening situation can really make you feel helpless. I feel absolutely guilty about her injury and have babied her for the past three days. Please continue to pray that no long term damage occurs. She has a follow up tomorrow so I will keep everyone posted.
