I returned from Japanese class to find Emily asleep on Nick's lap. Apparently she had fallen down a few steps outside while he was putting the buggy away. It was very unlike her to sleep like that as she can go a long time without sleeping now and had been awake less than five hours, and also she had refused her lunch despite a poor breakfast. When she woke she was quite lively and talkative and ate her lunch, so we relaxed a bit, but then she suddenly cried while she was playing on the sofa. We wondered if she had broken a rib and also she seemed to be using her right arm a little oddly, so we decided to get her checked out at a hospital. Luckily we didn't have to queue for long. The doctor checked her eyes for concussion and looked her over, but she seemed to have a normal range of movement. Just to make sure we had an Xray done; all was well and we got a taxi back home, having lost most of the day. We squeezed in a short visit to Hon Shiba park before teatime.
