Post-Concussion Blues

Lucy sustained a pretty bad concussion on Thursday.  She hit her head on my parent's driveway, and we ended up in the ER after she vomited about 10 times, fell asleep and started shivering.  It was a scary morning.  Luckily, the CT scan showed no permanent damage, so now we are just playing a waiting game until we follow up with her pediatrician on Tuesday.

Attempting to entertain Lucy post-concussion has resulted in some interesting "games." (To reduce brain stimulation, she's not allowed to watch TV. To reduce the chance of another head hit, she can't play outside.) This afternoon her game of choice is, "Let's pretend we're mamas who just had a baby, but we're not back in shape yet." Apparently this game includes peeing in a cup.
