[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NK (10 months) fell off MBs lap this morning directly on to her head.

I did not see the fall, but MB was hysterical and wanted me to decide if we should go or stay.  She seemed fine when I arrived 10 minutes after the fall so I said we'd just keep an eye on her.

It's been two hours and she still seems fine, but now I'm getting worried.  Would you just go in to be sure?[/quote]

No.  This should have been done by the mother.  It is unconscionable that she threw this in your lap.[/quote]

The child was fine when I arrived.  Crying only because she didn't like having ice on her head.  I literally arrived not 4 minutes after this happened, the child had no signs of a concussion,if she had I'm sure MB would have made a decision.  I felt like she was ok, but was concerned that she may later develop some swelling.  If she had any lethargy, vomiting, was disoriented or had seizure I obviously wouldn't be hear asking.

I clearly stated she was acting completely normal, but I don't want to risk it when it's a direct trauma to the head.  I did end up calling the pediatrician.

Yes I do have a medical waiver saying I can take my NKs to the clinic no make minor medical decisions.  No, MB didn't just leave me with the situation.  She stayed for an hour and was late to work, I assured her things were ok then she left.[/quote]
