Well, we had our first emergency room visit with Kason....Connie was out of town last week in Nebraska, and my mom (Nana) was watching the twins. I got a frantic call from her at work at 11:45 and she had accidently tripped over the kids' bathtub and fell while holding Kason. He landed on the back of his head on the carpet and it immediately swelled up. It was the scariest thing I have ever went through. We rushed him to St. Francis and they took their sweet time getting him in. Apparently a head injury on a 12 pound 3 month old isn't that urgent....I was furious! Anyway, by the time we left, we had the results from the cat scan and nothing was injured in his brain. Thank goodness! He does have a small linear skull fracture, but they said this is common (at least the ER thinks it is) in babies that have a fall. They said it should mesh back together and he sees a Neurosurgeon on March 11th to be sure. I took him to his pediatrician on Friday and she said that he looked fine and that we shouldn't be worried about anything, but that the swelling should round out by his 4 month checkup!
Poor guy! It all happened on the day he turned 3 months old!

Today, the swelling has begun to go down (mostly you can just see it in the back now), but he is still fussy and wanting lots of lovin'. I'm sure he still has a giant headache! He is still his happy self of course, though! In the pictures, you can see what his head looked like after the fall (it got a little bigger than what the picture shows) and a picture of him playing today!
He is one tough little boy!
He still needs prayers that his head will return to normal and that his fracture will heal, so please don't stop praying for him!
POOR LIL GUY!!! I'm glad that he is okay. I will definitely keep praying for him!!
