Very interesting night in the McGee household last night. I'm probably spoiling the ending by saying this but Jayna is alright and everything is ok. This will make sense in a minute.
After dinner last night, we were starting to get cleaned up and get things put away when we heard a series of thumps and then Jayna started crying. She had fallen down the flight of stairs in our split-entry. Aurora got to her first and picked her up to console her and then handed her to Alythea who arrived next.
The concern is that she started going to sleep and her skin went really pale. I took her from Alythea and laid her on the ground on the top of the stairs and got her attention and kept her awake. Alythea went to the phone and called 9-1-1 and began giving information. Everyone was in a bit of a concern because of the situation and I had Aly take the other kids into the other room and I stayed with Jayna until the ambulance arrived.
They were prompt, came in and began to assess Jayna. Everything checked out and they did not see a need to take her to the hospital. They felt that if we wanted them to, they would transport her to the hospital where the hospital staff would watch her for 24-hours and make sure everything was ok. We figured we could watch her and, if need be, take her to the hospital if it was determined that she needed to go.
The color came back into her skin and she went to sleep where she slept peacefully through the night with the exception of the times that we woke her to make sure she was still "wakable".
She is doing wonderfully today. We can't figure out how she fell as she was the only one near the area. She was playing with her play stroller and there was enough of a walk way. Anyway, everything is ok and everyone learned a little bit of a lesson.

Were the dogs in the area or were they outside. Just a thought.
They were inside but they usually hang out under mom's feet. She was in the kitchen.
It is possible though.
