A First

During an intense game of Cops and Robbers with lots of cousins tonight, Eliza got carted off to jail. She was apparently being uncooperative (resisting arrest?) and a minor struggle ensued. In the course of the quarrel, Eliza bumped the back of her head twice.

She was very upset for a little while, but tried to return to playing with all of the kids. Soon she was back on the couch, though, with her head in my lap. And when I got up, she fell asleep in the couch.

Shortly after I put her to bed, she threw up and got a bloody nose. Also, she had trouble remembering how she hit her head.

So, yes. I'm pretty sure we can say that we have now had a child get a concussion.

At the moment Eliza is sleeping soundly, but has been able to answer questions when we've woken her up. And 3 hours after the first vomit arrived, she hasn't had a repeat episode. So, knock on wood, I think she's okay.
