.. but couldn't celebrate because one of my best friend's daughter died in college. She was found dead a day after hitting her head and everyone thought she was okay. I had held this woman as an infant, and she spent time in my house because we watched her after school. My buddy and his ex-wife were literally numb. I'm literally numb. When someone is normally terminally sick, you have time to prepare for their death.
Life sucks.

Damn. That really sucks.
Anytime you fall and hit your head, go get checked out. Even what seems like a minor little knock to the head can cause a brain bleed.
And happy birthday Rob...well, as happy as it can be under the circumstances.

That is horrific. A kid when I was in middle school took a softball off his head during gym class. Died in his sleep that night. The brain can be so fragile.
Happy birthday though.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, as well as the sympathy. No funeral yet, probably until next weekend. Anyone attend a funeral before with young folks, knows it suck balls. I went to a funeral of a friends daughter about 4 years ago who unalived herself, and it was horrible seeing all these teen girls bawl. Knowing this girl since an infant, I know I'm going to be a wreck, and so will my kids who played with her.
After doing some research it sounds like this is probably what happened...
Her blow to the head may have caused her to suffer a massive bleed in the brain as the result of an acute sub-dural haemorrhage.
The brain is contained within the bony structure of the skull. Any increase in volume within the brain as a result of, for example, bleeding leads to pressure on the structures of the brain. Patients will often need urgent surgical intervention to stop the bleeding and evacuate any clot that forms.
