She landed on her back hard enough that she was unconscience for what seemed like forever (in reality I think it was only about 30 seconds or less). It knocked the wind out of her, and caused her to tinkle on herself.

I don't think I've ever been so scared. She hit the back of her head HARD and for a little while she was crying saying the FRONT of head hurt and her belly hurt really bad.

Needless to say we spent the night in the ER with her. They let us go about 9am this morning.

She is absolutely fine now. After all that, she doesn't even have a bruise!

I don't care how tacky it looks, I am definitely moving all the furniture up against the walls now.

Oh, she did crack everyone up because everyone kept asking her what her name was etc. One nurse asked her (probably for the 10th time) what her name was and she said, "You know, when my Mommy has a hard time remembering stuff she writes it down. Maybe you should do that too then you wouldn't have to keep asking me."

Wow! I am very glad that your daughter is okay and so sorry you had to go through that! The comment she made to the nurse cracked me up! Too funny!

When my youngest was about 7 he fell about 10 feet out of a tree in our backyard. I told my other son to stay with him and ran inside to call 911. He came in while I was on the phone and said, "Hey mom, why'd you leave me outside??" He was fine.
