My 5 year old daughter and I were playing in the spa. She wanted to do a flip, so I had her tuck her head and I rolled her under the water...she came out of the water in shock, then started crying and holding her forehead! I peeled her hands away to see a HUGE goose egg on her forehead. My husband grabbed her out of the spa to ice it... If I didn't have my 1 year old with me also I would of flipped out!!! To Sean's mommy, I too know the Sound that you are talking about!! It is resonating! To all the wonderful mommies, keep up the hard work. I’ve been awarded “Mommy of the Month” this evening.

Hardest thing is my hubby is in the ER with our 20 month old. I am on pins and needles waiting to hear from him. She landed on ceramic and has a huge goose egg on her head. She was standing up (on her own) after she fell so I assume she's okay but I feel horrible that I'm not even with her (don't drive, hubby does and we had to have someone watch our oldest). Sigh. I hope our results are as good as yours were but I may need therapy soon too. LOL! Ah, blogging about it may help but I feel to vulnerable right now. Why worry everyone when I don't know the end result. I’m there right now and your blog came up first in the search engine. Hardest thing is my hubby is in the ER with our 20 month old.

No CAT scan necessary, but we did go the ER and my heart did stop. Again and again and again. And the sound of it. Hell. We JUST went through this.

I have a budding climber and swing between the extremes of constantly telling him "no" and lightening up while living in fear. Guess parenthood is always some version of this. Thank God your little sunbeam's ok. You're a wonderful mommy. My heart goes out to each of you!

Definitely one of those "turn-in-your-mommy-license" moments. I am so glad everything is fine. Find out how much that neighbor who hangs from the rafters will charge to hex my North neighbor who turned me in to the city commissioners for not trimming my pine tree. WOW!

My first suffered being dropped in a parking garage and then spilling hot coffee on himself - let me tell you about winning "mother of the year" on that one! He spent three days in the hospital with second degree burns! My second child falls all.the.time. Fortunately, she is of the hard-headed variety and her only ER visit so far is when we thought she might have appendicitis. It was gas. We thought it was funny, too, especially since that night was the worst snowstorm of the year. I'm glad everyone's alright! Eventually the sick feeling in your stomach will go away, although you'll probably always cringe a little. Does any child make it to adulthood without inflicting this kind of terror on its parents?

After two trips in a week with the kids and one with the dog.. it's enough to make you crazy. The blessed thing is like you said, they are better on the drive home while it takes parents a little longer (o.k. a couple days) You can crawl around childproofing everything including the toilet and all it takes is 2 seconds to take your breath away. Glad your little guy is o.k. Been there…there is nothing worse than the ER. After two trips in a week with the kids and one with the dog.. it’s enough to make you crazy.
