Helmet Head

Tilly will be wearing this helmet for the next while. After almost a week after the accident, at least once everyday she fell and hit her head and also complained at least once that her head was hurting. On Friday I decided to take her in and was hoping that the doctor would just confirm she is fine and calm my lingering doubts. Well, he didn't exactly calm me. While she is acting like her normal self (a very good thing), she has some swelling on her skull near the place she fell. At the appointment he felt a soft spot on her head. He had me feel it as well as another doctor. This could be a sign of a skull fracture. It could also just be from the concussion and she is still healing. As a precaution, he ordered a CT to be done. We go in tomorrow to Children's hospital in Oakland. I hope it won't be anything serious. She really is doing well, but we just want to be sure. So for now... she is our helmet head all day and every day!

She is such a good sport! She loves to wear it!
