Not only did Eva Longoria take a tumble off the top step of her trailer on the set of “Desperate Housewives” and fall flat on her back. Not only did that land her in an ambulance and ultimately the E.R., but its my fault.

Yesterday, Eva and I were chatting on the cell phone about a project we are working on together when all of a sudden the line went dead. I called her back an hour later to follow up on the call with information she wanted and it went straight to voice mail.

Last night at 8:45 p.m., lying in bed watching “Dancing With The Stars,” the phone rings and its Eva explaining that she fell off the top step of the trailer and may have fractured a rib (slightly) around her back side.

She had gotten home a short time earlier and was doing the same ... lying in bed watching “Dancing.”

“Sorry, I didn’t call right back,” she said.

Too busy calling 911, I guess. I asked her if I was to blame for distracting her. She said “Yes...”

Followed with the big Longoria laugh.

Now, to why we were talking. A little boy who has touched both of our hearts is losing a terrible health battle and tomorrow we are turning his house into the North Pole so he can have Christmas before God calls him home.

That’s all on that.
