Considering Amy's fall last night, she's had a pretty good day. During the night she was pretty miserable, awake most of the night complaining of her head hurting. But today she's taken just a few pain meds and the swelling went down tremendously. (the benefits of being on high-dose steroids) Last night Sarah told me to wake her up when I wanted to go running and she'd sleep next to Amy until I got home. (yes, my kids are as great as they sound like, but I might be biased!). On my run, I thought a lot about what I should have done differently to keep Amy from falling. It was my fault, even if I didn't cause her to fall, since it is my responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen. I don't want to beat myself up over it, but I need to be more careful and I should have put us all on higher alert when we noticed that she was more confused yesterday.
