Crawling and Falling

For those of you that do not know, Jessica and I had a very bad experience yesterday. I was multitasking and packing up the car to go to visit Grandma and Grandpa Scocco and she fell down the stairs!! She took her first official crawls yesterday morning between 7:30 and 8:00. I ran downstairs at 9:45 to do something and she decided to crawl from my bedroom floor to the stairs. I frantically rushed her to the ER. They checked her there and said she was fine. Did I mention that Joe was away? Yup. He was driving to an overnight trip for work when he got my frantic call.

Then the rest of yesterday and today she would not put pressure on her right leg. She tries to stand like a flamingo. I contacted the pediatrician this morning and they had me come in. The doctor decided that she needed x-rays of her right hip, leg, ankle, foot, etc. Her whole right lower extremity. Thankfully they all came back negative.

I've been a complete wreck. I am physically and emotionally drained and feel like the worst mom in the world. I know I am not but still feel like it. This is what I get for multitasking. I was also not used to her being mobile.

The doctor said it is most likely a bad sprain/strain/bruise. We have to keep an eye on it until Monday but the doctor thinks she will start to feel better. I know things could've been A LOT worse. Lots of prayers, crying, and tummy aches for me the last two days. Thank God all seems fine and she was able to move around a little without screaming tonight.

I will keep you posted.
