Forsyth-Gibson is a mother of
3 and was born and lives in the Scottish city of Aberdeen.
In 1998, when Kelly's youngest child was 1 and learning to walk, the toddler fell and bumped her head.

Falling
over is part of growing up and some accidents can act as an important
lesson, such as scraped hands and knees. But the traumatic hospital

| Parents take great care not to let their toddlers fall but you can't keep them glued to your hip all day and accidents do happen. At least now there is an option to reduce the harshness of head injury as well as reduce the workload of many Accident & Emergency Departments. | ||||
