*Pic* Spent 4 hours in the ER with my little boy tonight.

**nitrox28** · 02-21-2006, 12:35 AM

He was playing with his toys and ran across the room with his Elmo doll. He tripped and CRACKED his head on a table. The picture dosen't do it justice. It looked like a purple golfball on his forehead. I've never seen a goose egg that big before! My wife freaked out and I called the hospital and was told to come right in. A few x-rays, complete checkup, and 4 hours later he's doing fine. we were told the entire side of his head might bruise

It could have been ALOT worse!

ehhh... don't worry, that shit'll buff right out. jk

Ouch man, looks like he really took a good hit. Glad he's gonna be okay though. Those head injuries can really be terrible. I've knocked my head a few times, that explains a lot, I know.

Yeah, they could have thought you did it and called CPS. When my little sister broker her arm back in '91 the doctor kept trying to get her to say my dad did it.

CPS? jesus...

Nitrox, that kid is gonna be like jim carrey from his movie "the Truman show" the way you document and post his life adventures

hope he's ok. Hope he doesn't fear elmo or the table from now on.

i would be a bit concerned about that myself.....sorry to think negative, but i have seen how those clowns work

hope your kid is doing well......don't worry he will be back at it in no time

**Sarge** · 02-21-2006, 05:10 AM

Been there done that. Kids are tough as nails....drink bleach...fall off the barn....snake bit....just bounce right back and want to go out and play...but it does scare the crap out of you

Glad you little guy is OK man....

**whitelightnin99** · 02-21-2006, 05:39 AM

**rbob93** · 02-21-2006, 05:42 AM

Glad he's ok!
What a goose egg!
Man, I hate when my grandson goes tearing across the room!

**BIG D's SS** · 02-21-2006, 05:43 AM

Man that is one helluva knot on his head. I'm glad that he is ok.

**articz28** · 02-21-2006, 05:47 AM

Glad he is ok.

**Motrv8d Steve** · 02-21-2006, 08:20 AM

I did the exact same thing (almost in the exact same spot!) when I was that age except I ran into the corner of a brick BBQ. Split my forehead wide open and the egg swelled up so big that the ER doctors couldn't stitch it up, they had to put a big butterfly bandage on it. Still have the scar to this day, good thing your boy didn't get cut.

also, I was in shock so they couldn't give me any pain meds so I was in a lot of pain, or so they told me.

After that, I was afraid of anyone wearing a white coat, even the ice cream man.
So when the ice cream man came by, I ran INTO the house as the other kids ran out... ha ha.

Made it through tho. Sarge is right, kids are tough as nails.

**98MustGT** · 02-21-2006, 09:56 AM

Yes I remember those days with my kids, one time we brought our kid to the ER with a big lump on the head. My wife was so nervous cause we brought the other kid in a few days before and saw the same Dr. she said "We don't beat our kids its just a coincedence" these days you got to be careful what you say!!!

**Mr. CarelessAndImprudent** · 02-21-2006, 12:03 PM

Wow, that is one tough little guy! You should buy him something so he forgets about it.

I've still got a scar on top of my head from a downhill wagon racing accident from when I was little.

**tbs98z** · 02-21-2006, 06:53 PM

Glad he's doing ok.Looks like he took a pretty hard hit

Just tell him like I tell my son,"Chicks dig scars"

**nitrox28** · 02-21-2006, 08:16 PM

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

BIGRED Z · 02-21-2006, 09:05 PM

Glad he's ok. Just keep an eye on the little guy. I see you're in KY, where'd you take him? (hospital)
