Fractured Skull

No matter how closely you watch your children it is unlikely that they will never get hurt. However, we didn't expect a fractured skull.

As usual Knox was sitting in his bumbo chair on the kitchen table ready for some lunch. I stepped away to grab his food and while my back was turned he leaned over in the chair. He is just heavy enough now that it cause the bumbo to tip and Knox fell from the table and hit his head. I checked his head and did see a small goose egg on the back. I carefully watched him for the rest of the day and he seemed to be ok...kids are so resilient.

When daddy got off shift the next morning he noticed that Knox's head was pretty swollen. We took a trip to visit the pediatrician who had us head to Providence ER. While at Providence we Knox had a CT and it showed that he had a small fracture in his skull.

We were told that it would heal in about a month and because Knox hadn't shown any signs of trauma everything should be just fine.

The bumbo chair was retired to the floor and we bought a booster seat the very next day!
