Accidents

Baby had a horrible accident.

Yesterday we spent some time at the Emergency Room of our local hospital.  Little Bethany had a tumble and there were a few bumps on her head.  She was fine though, aside from the bumps.  No head trauma, no other injuries on her body.  Last night, though, I was told by the Pediatric doctor to wake her every 3 hours to make sure she could wake up (that there was no other head injury that we missed).  So that's what I did, and for several hours I had her in our bed, sleeping with us.  I wanted to keep an eye on her, and was so relieved each time I woke her, that she stirred.  This morning, of course, she is tired, with good reason.  But happy and healthy again.

In any case, to all the parents reading this, please make sure you baby-proof everything.  Anything you can think that babies might do, you should protect them from it.  We were very lucky that B had no major injuries.

Also, another baby at the hospital had managed to get into the kitchen cabinet and he ate dish detergent.  We were in the room next to him, and the poor baby kept throwing up.  :(

We are going to spend the weekend baby-proofing everything now so no tumbles, poisoning, etc can occur.
