I feel terrible..............

My DD was just climbing up on my leg and slipped and banged her head on the table. She was scraming.... i was shaking. Then I noticed a bump sort of black and bluish right on the edge of her forehead (in her hairline). I sat her on my lap in front of the tv so she would sit while I put ice on it. She seems ok now but it's still there. She let me ice it for a good 15 min. I feel terrible.......... is there anything else I should do????? I hate, hate, hate when she hits her head... but this is the hardest she ever hit it.

Re: I feel terrible..............

She should be OK DS does something like this all the time but it is so sad
If you think she hit it REALLY hard check her eyes- the pupils should be the same size and react the same if you shine a light in them (i.e get smaller at the same time then bigger when the light is away) If they don't call a Dr. and tell them so they can decide your next step.
heres a hug for the boo boo
