Baby ds has woken me for a feed, and now I can't get back to sleep for worrying about my 23 month old dd.
She fell from a friends climbing frame (drop circa 6 feet) late Monday afternoon, and the middle of her back took the full force of the fall when she struck the bottom 'rung' of the climbing frame. The force of it slightly bent the bottom rung of the climbing frame (its metal - don't know what type).
Although she was hysterical (understandably) immediately after the fall, miraculously and thankfully she appeared relatively uninjured afterwards and minutes later was walking around normally. Some bruising was apparent on her back - but not much quite honestly. She didn't complain of pain any time later that evening.... But now I am haunted by the thought that she may have hidden internal bleeding - how on earth would I know? Am I right to be worried?
