Trip to the ER


Tyson was not a fan of the ankle bracelet

Now that Tyson is walking he is really starting to get his fair share on bumps and bruises. Yesterday he tripped on his pant leg and fell face first into the floor. He bit his lip and is was bleeding and got really fat.
Then today he was in the bathtub and stood up, I told him to sit on his bum and as he was sitting he slipped and hit his chin into the side of the tub. When he did that his bottom teeth hit the roof of his mouth making them bleed. I felt so bad for him and was thinking that this accident prone lil guy is definately mine.
We went the rest of the day without any accidents and I thought maybe we could get through the night too. After I got his jammies on for the night he spotted his blanket on the ground and decided to go head first off the ottoman to get it. He had figured out how to get off the couch and ottoman feet first but decided not to today. He ended up being ok just with a little mark on his forehead. He went about watching yo gabba gabba and playing for a little bit. I had him sitting on the couch with me watching the Cardinals baseball game and he had been standing up on the couch and trying to drop paper in between the couch and wall. He ended up standing up and fell off backwards and hit the back of his head. He cried and cried for quite a while then he started throwing up. I know they say that if you throw up after hitting your head you might have a concussion so we took him into the ER to have him checked out. I didnt think that there was really anything wrong but its better to be safe than sorry.
When we got to the hospital he was laughing and having a good time. The Dr also said that he didnt think anything was really wrong but if they fail any of the concussion symptoms they have to do a CT scan. Since vomiting is one of the symptoms Tyson had to have the scan done.
Tyson seems to have claustrophobia like Haas so I knew that he would not be happy having the scan done and I was right. They strapped him down on the scanning bed and also strapped his head down. He threw the biggest fit I had ever seen, he had veins popping out of his forhead. poor guy. Then when i got him out of the straps he started crying even harder almost like he was trying to make all the nurses feel guilty. LOL
We sat there for about a half hour and then Dr came back in and said that everything looked completely normal and just see how he is doing in the morning. Im glad that he didnt have a concussion. I know that this is only 1 of many times that he will get hurt and it probably wont be the last time that we will have a trip to the ER.
