Emergency accident – dial 112 (991)

From my worst dream I have been waiting for this moment. When this little sweet innocent human will do something that hurts her.

It was late afternoon and my GSM rang frenetically from my office. It was a stressed B on the other side talking very fast. As my Icelandic is not mother language I had to concentrate even more to get all words into my head: Little Anna-Björk had manage to kick so badly her chair turned over and smashed into the floor. He was afraid her back head was injured and was now on his way to emergency.

He had been feeding her and had to turn his back to grab a spoon. It was during these few seconds she probably has kicked her legs in some way to the dining table so badly her chair fell.

We all went to emergency carefully watching her all time. She looked back at us like she was wondering what’s going on. She looked completely normal. Her eyes went bigger while we stepped into the Emergency department at the Hospital. It was very crowd and lots of hurt people in all ages. It was like stepping into this American soap opera about doctors at emergency – I have forgot the title of this opera. We were transported into a waiting room for small children where it was lots of play tools and Anna Björk started at once to go over all boxes and she was laughing at all new stuff she found. Suddenly she glimpsed through the door way and she realized this corridor was something very exciting... two steps and she was out giggling. B ran after her and when she realized she was hunted she ran even faster. Was she really injured – it did not look like it.

After one hour we finally met the Doctor. He looked into her eyes, checked her back head and tried to get contact with her. At this time Anna Björk’s eyes was extremely big and she sat still like a candle. Then she laughed and the Doctor said it was nothing wrong with her, she was fine.

She almost gave me a heart attack B said when we came out from the Hospital. I went back to work and when I was back home again B had made a solution for tying the chair into the table so it could not fall again...

But if she will be like her mother this was not her last time...
