I am so beyond devastated...She JUST called!!!
My gma is in town with her boyfriend for the holdays (which is just the cutest thing ever...)
since I knew there was going to be a little Thanksgiving celebration at Cailen's room at daycare, I thought it would be a good idea to invite her and her boyfriend. I invited my stepmom as well.
It was for 11:30. I got stuck in a meeting later than I anticipated, stuck in traffic because of the weather, and wound up arriving 15 minutes late.
I arrive to a supervisor tending to my grandmother, whose head was gushing blood.
Turns out she was sitting next to Cailen - I think stooping - and went to pick him up. She didn't expect him to be so heavy, wound up toppling over (thank God she didn't have Cailen firmly in her arms - he wound up back on his bottom) and she hit the side of her head hard on the floor!!!! It wound up cutting her head open, and she bled everywhere...
I came after it happened, and I'm so devastated. I keep thinking if I was there early, I would have told her not to lift Cailen. I would have lifted him for her. Or I would have been next to her and could have stopped her from falling.
i'm so sad that this nice thing turned into such a horrible thing...
she had an appoinment later that day with her dermatologist (she had skin cancer removed and sees him regularly) and said she'd have him check it out. No one at the daycare was ok with that and said she needed to go to the emergency room ASAP.
And then my stepmother, who apparently earned a medical degree sometime today, friggin has to chime in...
Oh noo - she's fine.... Head injuries always bleed a lot and look worse than they are... see this scar where I had my mole removed? See it? Right here? (Because everything always has to be about her, no matter what... ) Well, this was GUSHING blood and it was nothing....
Not for nothing, but she isn't an 83 year old woman who just HIT her head - she sat and had a mole removed... You cant compare the 2...
So, my pleading and begging for my gma to check it out meant nothing to anyone. My gma's boyfriend drove her to the dr (but 1st they stopped and visited my dad at his office to say hello
) and then wound up going to the dermatologist.
I still havent heard from my grandma to find out how she's doing....
My stomach is in knots I am so agitated over this whole thing.... I got dizzy a few minutes ago and realized its because I didnt have a thing to eat all day (I'm heating something up now as I type...)
I'm so upset....

You cant blame yourself for what happened......Things happen!

Re: I am so beyond devastated...
Oh Liza, I am sorry. Don't blame yourself. She could've done it with you there. If she's as headstrong as you, she would've picked Cailen up no matter what.
As for your stepmother's comment. She's an idiot, but is trying to make you feel better.
Go eat something and let us know when you hear! I'm sure they stopped for food themselves.

Re: I am so beyond devastated...
awww, so sorry it went so wrong! remind yourself that chances are you couldn't have prevented what happened, and that at least she's going to the dermatologist- if they are concerned they can send her to the ER. I hope she's ok!
BTW that is so cute, grandma and her boyfriend!
