LPA addressed an Unusual Incident that occurred at the home on 4/11/2023, concerning a child that slipped onto their arm while crawling the living room area. According to licensee, the child had recently begun to crawl faster, and the child's hand mistakenly slipped, causing the child to land awkwardly on their arm. Licensee stated that she witnessed the incident as it occurred and reported the incident to the child's parent thereafter. There were no visible signs of injury; however, the child was taken to see a physician as a precaution. No irregularities were found by the child's physician and the child retuned to care the next day (see LIC809-C). |
