Oh never a dull moment in this house ill let you know!
Last night master Jackson, who can barely walk has learnt the art of climbing. Yes he decided to climb up on our bed and he fell off head first onto the tiled floor..Arggggghhhhh!!! Of all the nights daddy was working i had no car and Jack was scraming and this big huge red and purple lump began to protrude from his forehead.. Panic stations!!!! Well nearly, i kept my cool head and got Alex to ring Craig... No answer...ok Jack still scraming, bump getting bigger, a head wound on a baby.. Call 000. Ambulance on its way, and still cant contact daddy.One son running around making a baby bottle other son trying to call craig, me looking for baby book, which in my panic couldnt find, holding scraming baby, daughter packing a bag for Jack and still no daddy..
Well the ambulance officers were wonderful, A lovely man and a woman who had treated my mum in the ambulance when she lived with us.
Off to hospital to be sure, never can tell with head injuries especially on babies. Jack calmed down though his heart rate was very high, but he seemed to enjoy the trip. Oh forgot to add got hold of dad he was on his way to hospital too.
Well we get there, me on the stretcher, Jack on my lap,into the emergency room and another ambulance pulled up and looked at me and the guy says, hi there, and dont i know this little fellow?..MMMM yes thats because you were the ambo who kindly responded to my son choking on a very small pice of plastic lodged in his airway..lol..mmm The ambo actually got the plastic out on the way to hospital. That was another story three months earlier..lol
Well you know your son is destined to be a regular when one of the nurses pipes up and says ive met Jack before.. Yes when he was three weeks old he had colic and constipation very bad that the doctors sent him to emergency, where he was treated. Well when the ambos and hospital staff know you well life is going to be a joy for the next 18 years till he can drive himself to hospital
Jack was sent home four hours later with no side effects exceot for the huge lump that still looks black and ugly..
But being the good scrapper i am!! I never miss a photo oppurtunity and took these photos when we got home last night..
Mmmmm time for a coffee me thinks and to ponder lifes journey:

OMGoodness, Fran!! It's funny how you can keep your cool when you are panicking at the same time! So happy to hear he is okay - head bumps are scary. Hopefully three is enough and Jackson won't be at the hospital again for a very long time! (Like maybe when his wife is giving birth, or some other far away event that doesn't include accident or pain for him!)

When the nurses know you you're sure to get better treatment LOL. Glad everything turned out OK & you got some pics to scrap :o)
