Our 1st Trip to the ER..

After a loud crash and scream, we found ourselves rushing to the E.R......

Last night Maddox and Jenn were playing happily on the living room floor and his first accident happened. Maddox was in a sitting position on the carpet playing with toys, when he tumbled backwards and nailed his head (loud enough that I heard it while I was in the garage in the lower level) on our sofa table. He screamed like mad for about 2 minutes and Jenn and I were extremely worried. He had a VERY large bulge in the back of his head and we were unsure of what we should do. A friendly phone call to the E.R. resulted in "bring him in immediately."

So, we bundled him up and headed to the E.R. Once there, as always, we had to wait and wait and wait. Instead of the usual 4 hour wait, we were only kept in suspense for an hour or so. We had 2 doctors come in and look at Maddox and his head, and both stated he would be just fine, eventhough they used words like "head trauma." They said we just need to keep an eye on him for a couple of days to see if there are any changes in behavior, etc..

By the end of our E.R. visit, Maddox was back to his old self by flirting with the nursing staff...we will keep you updated if anything should change!!!

Ouch!!!

Hope the little guy is okay. If he has Mom's hard head I know there's nothing to worry about.
