Lex gave me a good scare today. He fell of
\n the bed backwards, not the first time and I’m sure it won’t be
\n the last, but this time he got two big welts on the back of his
\n head. All of the other times he’s fallen (yes, he’s an active
\n boy) he maybe got red marks, but nothing more. This time two
\n quarter-sized welts popped up immediately, one purple and one
\n with a red line through it like it almost broke skin, but not
\n quite. Needless to say he screamed (which is good) and resisted
\n the ice pack I tried to use. Meanwhile I got right on the phone
\n with the pedi’s office. I was really scared and ready to take
\n him into the emergency room! Silly mommy. The nurse was very
\n nice and said that as long as he is conscience (yep) and not
\n vomiting (nope) then there’s no need to bring him in. She told
\n me a few things to watch for and suggested we watch a little TV
\n while he reclines on my chest (with ice pack between us). Very
\n smart nurse. I made up a bag of ice and he snuggled his head
\n right in to it for 1\/2 hour of Baby Einstein. It was scary. I’m
\n gonna have to toughen up though, I’m sure, as he gets older and
\n more rambunctious I’m sure there will be many more scary
\n moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
