Lesion on back of head

At 4:30am during our nursing session I caressed JT's head. I felt a lesion of some sort on the back of his head. I had only the night light on so I tried to see it as best I could and it was very red and felt like scabby. I woke up DH and asked him if he knew what it could be from - he said he probably just fell. Well when I checked this morning it was pretty bad - and I was like I would remember that fall for sure! Well after thinking a bit we realized what happened - my FIL was pulling him by the legs all over the carpet on Sunday and I think the poor little guy has rug burn on the back of his head! I feel so bad! Not only did I fail him by not forcing the issue with allowing him to nap, I also enabled him to get pretty bad rug burn on his head! What's wrong with me?? (He's fine, I'm not too worried but I really need to trust my instincts more often!)

Re: Lesion on back of head
Um, first off..I am just now seeing your new siggy pic, and who is that handsome young man!? I cant believe how big and adorable he is!! I must not have seen a recent picture lately. What a cutie.
Secondly, How were you to know that would happen. Dont be so hard on yourself. Im sure JT didnt even know he had the scab. Hopefully it heals quickly!
