On Sunday night, as we were getting ready to go home from Chris and Becky's house, Nono Al stepped up on the landing of their steps, got his jacket, looked at the picture on the wall, and then backed up - not remembering that there was a step. Suddenly he was going down backwards. I yelled and Chris turned and very quickly slid face first and caught Nono's head on his arms so he did not hit the floor full force with his head. Nono was a little sore the next day and Chris' arm was swollen, but none the worse for wear. Tyler kept asking "Nono Al, are you okay?"
Fast forward to Monday night - as they are putting Tyler to bed, Chris takes Haylee and starts down the stairs - steps on one of the cats, falls down the stairs, while Haylee goes flying through the air. It happened so fast, Chris thinks he caught her before she dropped, but she must have hit something in her short flight. They took her to emergency and everything checked out okay. They had to wake her every hour that night, and they took her to her own doctor on Tuesday morning. She has a few bumps on her head and a small bruise on her cheek, but otherwise seems normal.
Bob said he is going to bring "Caution" tape over to their house to block off that staircase. We don't need any more of this circus act.
