Hello All......
I heard a banging then a yell while sleeping, I jump up run down the steps seen a big chunk of hair and then a pool of blood, I seen it coming from a big cut all the way into the bone on her head. I grab a rag put it to her head, put her head up and told her to hold it there, run up the steps phoned 911.
Grab my boots and went back down to see how she was, the bleeding had slowed down to almost stopping, the EM's got here and took over and got her to the hospital, and they checked everything out. She seemed to be doing ok the whole time then the doctor said, some techy stuff that sounded like, she had creaked 2 disc in her neck to me.
He then said she had to go to a trauma unit about 50 miles away to be checked, so they took her there I followed them, the doctor said she broke her neck in 2 places one was creaked the other broke off. But nothing needed to be fixed as far as a operation, and that everything should heal 100%, and that she would need a hard neck brace and should be able to come home in a few days.
I asked about the disc he said they was fine that there was nothing wrong with them, boy I thanked god after the doctor told me she would be ok, she called me this morning and sounded back to her self. I asked if she was having any pain she said no very little, she should be coming home monday after being checked by the doctor.
I told her well she could now tell everyone she had a broke neck, but she would have to wear a hard neck brace, until it healed all the way and that it doesn't heal as fast as other bones. She said she tripped, and from what I could see she tumbled from the top to the bottom of the steps, the steps have a turn at the bottom, and she was sitting past that when I got down there.
I'm just glad she is ok, things could of been way worst that is for sure.
