Katelyn's First Trip to the ER

Last night we had a little scare in the Lugo household. We had just finished eating dinner and Katelyn went in to play the piano. The next thing we hear is a thud followed by silence. Then as Charlie and I went in to see what happened, she started screaming. We thought she just hit her head and was being a little dramatic. Then I saw the blood on her shirt. Charlie looked at the back of her head and she had split her head open. She had fallen off the piano bench and hit her head on the window sill. He started cleaning her up and we got ready to go to the hospital. As we were strapping the girls into the car, Katelyn started throwing up pretty badly and acting really strange. Charlie told me to call 911. We both ended up trying to call and couldn't get through, so since we were already in the car, we drove her to the hospital.

She was a little dazed in the car, but was doing ok. I talked to her the whole way there to keep her from falling asleep. We finally got there and got back into the room. She ended up having to get 4 staples in the back of her head. She got a CT scan done, and we'll hopefully get the results of that back tomorrow. The dr. thinks she suffered a mild concussion.

She's doing much better today. She's not acting quite herself, but she's playing and running around. It was a pretty scary night for all of us.
