So, Monday night @ 540. I had just left to go to work and Nate called to tell me Alyssa had fallen off the counter and had blood coming out of her ear. WHAT!!!
I turned the car around and drove back home fast. When I got there, I really couldn't believe the blood I was seeing. I told him we needed to get to the ER. I grabbed a list of names to call, to see if anyone could work for me. I had made dinner for a family in the ward and the other lady had come to get the food. She thankfully stayed with my kids. When we got there we waited an hour, so dumb. When we finally got in, they couldn't even see in the ear canal, so they decided to do a CT scan...She had a skull fracture, but thankfully no brain bleed...it was coming out of the ear. So we got admitted to the hospital to have her watched for 24 hours. They woke her up every 2 hours to have neuro checks and make sure everything was o.k. At 5 am she was up running the halls. I was grateful for these good signs, but was so tired and traumatized. We got released with instructions to have her not jump, run, or be very active....are you kidding, she is so hard to keep down. She has told everyone, I fell down and went bonk. Anyway, we have to left her Left ear heal for 2 weeks and then see a ENT to see what damaged she has to the ear drum. We could have hearing lose. We hope not! Anyway, please keep her in your prayers. Much love~ the goates
