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

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.
Uh, oh. Is this what I have to look forward to??
Glad your little guy is ok!
