Christian's accident

I got home from work around 7:15 and Christian was laying on the couch crying. Alicia said he had an accident. Christian fell down the basement steps...sort of. When I asked Christian what happened he said he fell up the stairs. Alicia was cooking dinner and was at the top of the steps and when she heard it he was in front of the pantry. When we went to look at the area there was a blood smear on the 6th step and a small pool underneath the step. It appears as though he fell through the small opening in the steps and onto the floor beneath. I have no idea how...Alicia called the doc's and they recommend that he be looked at. I'm just worried about taking him the the hospital with all those sick people and us catching something. Well, off we go!
