Considering Amy's fall last night, she's had a pretty good day.  During the night she was pretty miserable, awake most of the night complaining of her head hurting.  But today she's taken just a few pain meds and the swelling went down tremendously. (the benefits of being on high-dose steroids)  Last night Sarah told me to wake her up when I wanted to go running and she'd sleep next to Amy until I got home.  (yes, my kids are as great as they sound like, but I might be biased!).  On my run, I thought a lot about what I should have done differently to keep Amy from falling.  It was my fault, even if I didn't cause her to fall, since it is my responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen.  I don't want to beat myself up over it, but I need to be more careful and I should have put us all on higher alert when we noticed that she was more confused yesterday.
