Unsettling evening
« on: 09 May 2009, 23:49:23 »
Home alone tonight with my 4 year-old son. SWMBO at work and daughter (8) at a Brownie camp a couple of miles away.

Got little 'un off to sleep and logged on to OOF and started watching that amusing YouTube swine-flu video that NickV6 posted. Got half way through the video when I heard, above the song, a crash from somewhere in the house. I paused the video and went all round my home, switching on the lights in very room. Could find absolutely nothing out of place. So I went back online.

About 3 or 4 minutes later, I got a call from "Brown Owl" to say my daughter had fallen out of her bunk bed and had gashed her head.

SWMBO left work and collected her and she is currently in A&E. Thankfully it doesn't seem too bad (touch wood) and she has a 1cm cut which they will probably glue when they get time (Saturday night in A&E.... ::)).

Obviously I am concerned, but she seems OK. I am very spooked about the crashing sound I heard. I have since spoken to Brown Owl and checked the timing from the fall to her call and discovered that the "crash" I heard coincided with my little princess's fall... :o

Can't wait for SWMBO and my little girl to get back home...

Have found out that she fell trying to close curtains as some of the others in her dormy said there was too much light. She leaned across from her bunk to pull the curtains and then fell.

About a 3 and a half hour wait in A&E, apparently... Good old NHS. As everyone know, accidents only happen between 9 and 5.  ::) ::) ::)

She's tired, but OK it seems.

Agreed. They're rubberised at that age.

I wish I was still like that.  ;) ;D

Thanks for all your messages of support.

My daughter is OK. She had the gash cleaned and inspected by a nurse at 11.30pm. She said it would probably need a bit of glue. Three hours later, a doctor glued it. She got to bed at about 3.00am, so she's still asleep.

Still a bit spooked by that "crash" I heard, though.  :o :o

So glad your daughter is ok Nick! :y :y

Your 'bang' incident reminds me of various recorded cases of distant events being somehow indicated 'back home'.  During WWII pictures of ships or people on board ship fell off walls, only for the house occupants to discover later that at that precise time the ship or person pictured had sunk. :o :o :o  There is so much we do not know about! ::) ::)
