That is horrifying, going into crazy mom mode is exactly what I would have done too. T & P for you. I'm so sorry your little one is hurt. I hope he heals soon.
Please don't feel like you have to explain how often you post in order to receive T&P. I know this board can be tough on lurkers but I don't want anyone to feel like they can't ask for T&P just because they mainly lurk.
Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened to your lo! If it helps, I had a skull fracture growing up when I was hit by a truck while riding my bike. It was definitely a painful recovery, but the only major repercussion I suffered is short term memory loss. I hope your lo recovers quickly!
Many many t&p. "Lurker" or not, it absolutely doesn't matter at this point, I can't imagine your worries and the support you need at the moment. I hope you can find a bit of comfort in the fact that all of us here, really are praying. Please keep us updated.
All of this. That is so scary. Sending many T&P's.
Oh dear!! Prayer is my strength as a woman of God and pastor's wife . So lets pray. Father I pray that you protect this little one in the name of Jesus! No weapon fashioned against their life will prosper! I call forth a speedy recovery in Jesus name , Amen!!
Oh goodness, I am so sorry you are going through this, and I cannot imagine how worried and upset you are. You and your family (especially your LO) will be in my thoughts.
Yes, he was able to leave immediately and meet us at the hospital!
Update: Were on our way home. Praise The Lord! We're just monitoring him very closely. Looking for abnormal behavior/seizures/swelling/vomitting. Have several neuro follow up appointments and we have to take a daily measurement of his head circumference. But they cleared us to go home, so in my heart I'm convincing myself that it's a very good thing!
But basically, I'll be a worry wort for a few weeks. But it's ok. I'm just glad to be home!
Oh, sweetie. Thinking of you and your family; sending healing thoughts and prayers to LO and prayers of strength to your husband and you as you help LO recover. Prayers for your sister as well.
Wow, T&P to you and your family! What a nightmare!
May I ask how they were able to flip off the swing? I only ask because I have a porch swing as well that I sit on with my son on occasionally and would like to know how something like that is able to happen. It is a bench swing? (thats what I have).
Hopefully your LO will be back to himself soon, I know that would make me feel better.
Oh my god. How scary. I could not even imagine how scary this is for you. Sending many Ts and Ps your way. Hoping your LO has a quick recovery!! Please keep us updated!
Just a follow up on "swing safety"... Lord. Who would have thought.
We just have a regular swing. New, actually. And it was professionally installed per manufacturer recommendations. In my opinion, the locations that the support chains attach to the swing don't allow for enough stability. It's hard for me explain (bare with me!), but it attaches to the swing at two points, but then the two chains come together and one chain attaches to the ceiling, allowing you to swing. However, the length from where the two chains meets the one chain is far too short and allows the swing to tip too easily if you lean too far backwards or forwards and your feet aren't touching the ground. Again, total freak accident. But I guess you can't be too careful! I tried to snap some pictures so you can all see.

If it was installed per manufacturer specs, I would definitely contact the manufacturer and alert them to this! By doing so you could be saving other people and babies from going through that, too.

My DH is a fireman/paramedic too. Could he leave the station to be with you and your LO?

I am so terribly sorry!! I can't even imagine!
You need to get ahold of the manufacturer of the swing. That is too dangerous and I think the product should be recalled.
