when she was with her dad and he didn't want to tell me. don't you think it's something i should know so i can watch for a head injury. she told me and then i asked questions like high high and did you hit your head, her dad stood there ignoring the questions and looking up in the air trying to avoid talking. he doesn't get it. this is one day after telling me that it's scary about the actress dying after falling and hitting her head on a ski hill, well he doesn't realize its the same thing.

I would watch her for sure. I would even call your peditrician and see what they have to say about what to look for or even do a search to find out if there are any "typical" injuries you should look for. I don't know why he couldn't just say what happened it doesn't make him a bad person. Good grief, kids konk themselfs on all sorts of stuff it's part of childhood. But ignoring that something happened is not cool.

his problem is that it didn't happen at his house, he's so secretive about where he takes her and i don't understand why, i've never said anything or said she can't go. but he's always been like that even when we were together. he's a compulsive liar. and he might of been trying to figure out a lie if i asked where it happened.

Hmmm....unless he knew you wouldn't approve of where he had taken her would be the only reason to lie. Really sad that he can't be honest with you. And if he has your child somewhere you would not approve of common sense would say not to be there. I hope your child is ok.

observe for persistent vomiting, headaches and change in well-being (increased sleeping time etc...), if you observe this within 3 days after the fall...seek medical consult....she might need a cranial ct scan to check for any bleeding...
