I wish my baby didn’t fall on Friday. I was right next to him when he fell and ended up with a minor skull fracture. 
He got checked out at the ER twice because the first time they didn’t do a CT and we noticed more swelling so went back later that day then rode in the ambulance to the children’s hospital. He’s carrying on like normal but I’m so traumatized by it and it definitely added on to mom anxiety and guilt. I know this is different from most simple wishes on here but it’s been hard especially because I feel like I can’t talk about it without judgement.

That’s so scary! It’s a good sign that he’s carrying on like normal though. That makes me think the damage won’t be permanent. This happens to people more often than you might think, it’s just that nobody wants to talk about it. It doesn’t make you a bad mother. Unfortunately, there will be more falls in the future, and you just have to hope and pray they aren’t serious. I can’t even begin to count how many times my daughter has fallen and hit her head. I did make my daughter wear this backpack with a cushion behind the head for awhile. Those are great. I hope the swelling gets better soon

We have that book too! We go it from the Dolly Parton book club that sends a free book every month.

I feel for you. It’s hard when they get hurt. I hope for a speedy recovery. Head injuries are so scary. My 4 year old went through a concussion stage. He’s my Dare Devil, but man it breaks your heart when they get severely injured.

Oh my heart… that must have been so scary I can’t even imagine. Please don’t blame yourself though; accidents happen so fast, even when we’re right there. You’re a good mom

We’re so sorry you went through such a frightening experience. It’s completely understandable that this still feels heavy, even as your baby is doing well now.
You acted quickly, trusted your instincts, and got him the care he needed—that truly matters.

Thank you all for the love! I appreciate it. It helps that I’m not alone and people don’t automatically think the worst.
