The Hospital, Take 2

Today Luke learned how to roll over. While this is normally a cause for celebration, the boy learned how to do this by falling off of the couch.

I put him beside me so I could stand up and get him a bottle. I stand up, hear a soft thud followed by a shriek, turn around and see my little boy on the floor. I feel as though I should win the "Worst Mommy of the Year" award for not just trying to get off of the couch while holding him.

I called his doctor, who wasn't there, but her business partner/doctor told me to take him to Urgent Care or the ER. We went to Urgent Care and were told just to go straight to the ER in case he needed a CAT scan. The ER said he DIDN'T need a CAT scan, but they made us stay for several hours for observation, just in case.

He's home and doing well now. He was really mad at me for taking him to the hospital, but it seems he has forgiven me for the most part. I'm going to keep an eye on him tonight, just to be sure.
