5yr old Girl hit forehead on metal table

Situation:

About 2.5 weeks ago my wife and I had taken our daughter to a
neighborhood bookstore.
My 5yr old daughter while getting out of a raised chair lost her
balance and fell out hitting her head on a neighboring metal shelf.
Point of impact was above her eyebrow on right side of forehead. What
followed was a 'goose egg' size knot. Within 24hrs she was seen by an
ER doctor who stated based on her Neurological responses 'HE' felt
nothing was wrong. As I stated we are almost at week #3 and the knot
has subsided about 60% but I'm noticing an indentation around the area
of impact from the fall. My concern is will this visually noticable
indentation subside or could there been some rupturing of cells below
the skin that are causing this 'sunken in' area of skin??

My wife thinks I'm over reacting but you know it's better to be safe
than sorry. I have all the faith in the world that the Lord has healed
my daughter. But I also believe he has blessed Doctor's / Nurses etc..
with skills to help people.

I'm trying to identify someone who may of had their little one
experience something similar.

I have asked my wife to take our daughter for an x-ray and hopefully
she'll do that tomorrow. I work long days therefore me taking her would
be a challenge.

Again, I'm just reaching out to see if a visually noticed indentation
is something that disapates with time or are there other things that we
should be looking at?

Much appreciated for you reading / responding to this post.

My aunt was hit on the head by a golf ball. She didn't suffer any brain
damage, but she had a permanent crater in her head.

My daughter too has a permanent dent where
she whacked her head hard as a young child.
You'd have to be looking right at the spot from
the right angle in the right light, but it's definitely
there.
