Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
I hope she is fine now and out of danger. The CT scan being normal must have really relaxed you.
The mushy lump on her head is a hematoma.
This usually resolves well with time without any complications.
You can request the Doctor to aspirate and put a pressure bandage to avoid re-accumulation.
