The Goose Egg Revisited

If you read regularly, you know that a couple of weeks ago Maddie fell and ended up with a monster goose egg. Well today, her other half had one that was probably twice the size. We put the girls into their room for their quiet time (has recently replaced naps - they go to their room for an hour to rest) and within 15 minutes we heard a scream and some crying. As it's not uncommon for them to do that over a toy or a book, we gave it a couple of minutes and then went to investigate. Joe found Lexi with a MASSIVE goose egg that ran from her hair line all the way to her eye brow! And it had already turned purple and was protruding immensely. I thought the one Maddie had recently was the worst it could be, I was mistaken. This one of Lexi's was MUCH worse. So much, in fact, that we loaded her into the car to take her to the hospital...but by the time we got 10 minutes from home, it was already shrinking back down. We called the ER when we got home and they basically confirmed what we'd known. If there was no loss of consciousness, no vomitting, no dizziness or stumbling...then she's fine. And she was. From what we can gather from both Maddie's story and Lexi's, is that it was one of two things. First scenario - she was jumping on her bed and hit her head on the edge of her bed. Second, and most likely, scenario - she was running around, tripped and hit her head on the edge of her closet. Either way, she has a nasty goose egg and bruise to match. I'll take some follow up pics tomorrow.

Momma, my head hurts!

The last pic and this one was taken about 20 minutes after it happened.
This one was taken several hours afterwards. You can see how the bruise color is deepening already.
And a couple of Maddie for good measure. :)
