Imagine if you had to give your kid a $1000 medication and take him in for a CT scan each and every time he landed on his head. You'd think just the thought of getting an IV would be enough to incent him be careful.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-5920182060717078802014-02-07T15:16:16.779+02:002014-02-07T15:16:16.779+02:00I never dropped my son on his head , he did it for...I never dropped my son on his head , he did it for me. Basically the now 22 year old walked into every wall , door , or piece of furniture within a quarter mile radius. For the better part of his second year on this planet I thought that he may have been part unicorn. I won't mention the 2 times I closed his hand in my car door because clearly it wasn't my fault ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528131190332940515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-43618593621598035712014-02-06T22:31:37.988+02:002014-02-06T22:31:37.988+02:00My husband was carrying the baby in his carrier ou...My husband was carrying the baby in his carrier out of church, but hadn't fastened him securely. He turned to speak to someone and the (now 26 year old) boy fell out and hit the concrete. He was checked over by all the nurses in the congregation who agreed the father was at fault and the boy was perfect.<br />W/ regard to ankles, I was walking across the street to my apartment and for no reason my ankle rolled and I had a massive sprain. I was off work for 2 weeks because I couldn't do my job on crutches. And the plethora of colors it turned was amazing. Not as good as when I broke my 5th metatarsal tripping over a 4x4 in the garage, but close. amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-4361581479137954932014-02-06T19:12:17.353+02:002014-02-06T19:12:17.353+02:00When my brother was about a year old, he managed t...When my brother was about a year old, he managed to wiggle out of my (6'7") dad's arms and landed headfirst. He was completely uninjured. <br /><br />I'm glad you and your son weren't seriously hurt! I can imagine there's nothing worse than fearing your child has been injured.
