Sounds like you all will have fun.  I've been to Kauai twice and stayed once at the Princeville Resort and once in  a condo. What part of the Island will you be staying at?

I think I would have mentioned it to someone important at the store. All you have to do is tell a store manager that a child hit their head and is showing signs of head trauma and just watch how fast they call 911. They don't want the liability.

 I should have done that. I did tell an employee but she just said 'oh no, they should get her to a doctor.' 

But, DUH! I should have found a manager. Thanks.

 Eh, don't feel bad.  You were just asking what others would do.  I guess I wouldn't have done anything since she did eventually call the mom.  I probably would have mentioned it to a cashier when checking out though.  Maybe saying she needed to let a manager know.  If the grandma hadn't called I probably would have talked to the manager.  That's just me though.  I don't like to directly confront people and make it feel like I'm challenging their ability to parent.  A manager though can approach it in a store safety type way.

 I'm glad you answered. I was really wondering what I should have done if she didn't take action. I've never been in that situation before, and I wanted to know what to do if I'm ever in it again and it doesn't work out the way it did this time.

 Always listen to your gut. I would have said something to the manager and if they didn't listen I would have called the police/ambulance, given details over the phone and then left. It would have been taken care of.

---

 Talking to a manager didn't even cross my mind, lol, it really should have. I was wondering if I should call 911, especially since she wasn't the mom and was apparently watching the baby while the mom was working. If my kid was ever in someone else's care and that person was making a questionable medical choice I would hope someone would do something. 

Luckily, this is all moot, since she did take care of it, it's just what was going through my mind while I was waiting for her to do something.
