I have been looking forward to seeing Alexis since last week. It seems like it was longer than a week. It turned out to be a very emotional day. I had only been at the house for a short time when Alexis and I decided to sit on the kitchen floor and play with the refrigerator magnets. When all of a sudden, Alexis decided that Joey's toy which was tied to the kitchen chair was much more interesting. Before I knew it, she grabbed the cat toy and the chair came tumbling down on top of Alexis. I saw it coming and broke the fall with my hand, but the chair still landed on top of Alexis, hitting her right in the middle of her forehead, right between her eyes. To make a long story short with the help of the advice nurse, we don't think it hit her hard enough to cause a concussion, but she is being watched very closely.
before-so happy
after-still smiling
The emotional part was me because I felt horrible and blamed myself for letting it happen. So far there is just a small bruise. I know all children get lots of bumps and bruises, but please not on my watch. Alexis on the other hand is resiliant as all children are and I know in my heart she will bounce back like a champ!
