Parenting after 35

Our first trip to the ER yesterday for ds. LONGish

It was Sunday I was tired dh was getting ready for church. I wasn't paying close enough attention to ds and he made his way to the hallway where a large framed mirror stands at the end. Yes you guessed it he stood up grabbed it and fell backwards with it on top off him. Now normally as an ER nurse I would not have taken him in. But given the size and weight of said mirror in comparison with ds and he fellonto hardware floor my instincts told me to go in Thankfully I am an ER nurse so it was not to long of a wait. No scan done after discussing with two attendings. Ds now has a nice red imprint of the frame design on his forehead :( Needless to say it was long night and I feel like the worst mother in the world. Ds charmed up everybody walking by. He was waving and laughing and giggling. Def not signs of a hurt child Sorry this was long

    Oh no!!! Poor little guy!
  • We've all been there!  Believe me.. and I swear boys are the worst when it comes to banging their heads/falling off ledges/getting into trouble.

    We didn't go to the ER, but Charlie gave himself a nice shiner a while back when sliding off the bed.   I didn't leave the house for a week.. mostly out of embarassment.

  • Oh, your heart must have been in your throat, it's always scarier when it's your own kid!! FWIW, the girls have done stuff like this...and my nerves are still somewhat intact.

  • Awww, poor sweetie!  Good instincts on taking him is... I'm sure even with your experience and knowledge, it's hard to assess objectively when it's your own son!  I'm glad he's okay!

  • I am glad he is doing ok.  FYI, while Michael has not done this, my younger brother was in the ER so much growing up, he had his preference of which of the two hospital ER's he like to go to.
