I should have known we’d end up at the ER sometime on vacation…all’s fine, but poor Carlos got a nice whack on the head.
We were gearing up to go into town to hang out when he slipped on the ice, knocking his ear/head into the side of the car and then falling down. His ear immediately turned black and blue and got swollen and after about 10 minutes all Carlos wanted to do was go to sleep. Not a good sign after a knock on the head.
Just to be sure he didn’t have a concussion, I walked him to the ER (which is conveniently located right downtown) while the rest of the crew shopped. Turns out he was fine, and I figured he was but it didn’t hurt to check and set my mind at ease. With some Tylenol onboard and a checklist of things to watch for in the next 24 hours, he was good to go.
