[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not focus on whether the mom called you.   I would be concerned if my kid fell asleep after a head injury, as that is a sign of concussion.  If I were you, i would bring my kid to the doctor to evaluate for concussion.  My kid did have a mild concussion after being hit with a softball, and the main symptom was the fact that he fell asleep an hour or two after the accident.  Required cognitive rest.  I would absolutely get it checked out.  [/quote]

+1 the party was unusually short (that plus the shade and water issue made me wonder if this post was for real, actually). If this happened at my home and the girl said she was fine and not to call her mom, then I would keep an eye on her and make sure she was comfortable, then report the incident to her mom at the end of the party. If she was to be in my care for the day or for hours them I would call the mom just to let her know, especially if the girl was still in some pain.

But the main issue is that you can't necessarily trust the account of the host - your DD may have hit her head. If your DD is sleeping a lot or exhibiting signs of a concussion then i would take her to the doctor, especially if she fell from some height.

The fact that you mentioned you checked for shade and water for a very short party has discredited you with this crowd, because your DD is nine, not 2-3. But I would forget about whether or not you got a call and focus on how your DD is doing today and if she needs to see the doctor.[/quote]
