So I'm at a friend house... With her family and one of her nephews (3yr) fell.
He was standing in a children's wagon and another child was pulling it. Fast...
He fell out backwards. Hitting his head on cement creating a knot and bleeding.
He is now not holding his head or keeping his balance. And he doesn't want to stand.
Her mom is allowing him to go to sleep. I'm petrified!! She says since he can still talk and he is climbing the stairs (using hands and feet for balance) he is fine.
I'm afraid. Do I stay out of it? I'm so over parents burying children. One passed because of an asthma attack. The other due to a concussion and going into a coma.... 😢😢

he should definately be taken to the ER to be checked out. and I never let my child fall asleep soon after he hits his head, no matter how hard it was.

Your suppose to stay awake an hour when hitting your head hard.

i know but I saw the fall, picked him up.... 😒 she told me you have two children I raised 11... I'm like OK and #12 fell different 😒😒 I can't believe her. @sammimillette she said all the Doc will do is check to see if he is still mobile and talking. since he is... he is fine...

If he can't keep his balance, or is acting differently than before the head injury, the child needs to be seen.

@atlas, I know but he is fussy she said just check on him. when he fell it shocked him because it was so hard he barely reacted. but the knot and the blood

@ashalay88, but do I keep pushing the issue

if the bump is big enough, they might even want to do a brain scan. any type of head injury is serious enough to be checked out, especially young children because their skulls aren't fully fused yet. he could not wake up if he has a concussion that's bad enough. but it's her child, and honestly, as much as it sucks to say this, it's her choice.

it isn't her child. it's her grandchild and everyone's phone is dead accept mine here. she hasn't called his parents @sammimillette

then maybe you should call his parents and inform them, so they aren't left out of the loop and come to pick up their child who feel asleep with a concussion and didn't wake up. I would be pissed if my child's grandparents didn't tell me if something happened to my child.

No that child needs to be taken in to the ER. His behavior is not normal

@sammimillette, my friend is the child's aunt I don't have direct connections with the parents. I'm leaving she told me I'm over stepping my boundaries. 😒

I'd call 911 before leaving and tell them the situation. Sounds like a concussion. Last thing he should be doing is sleeping or be left alone at all. He needs to be examined

i didn't call 911, but I did wake him up... I made him though his toes, walk, count and recite his ABC's. he has a headache and I know that it doesn't mean he couldn't get worst. idk if I'll ever go back over. but my heart will break if they call me about a funeral. @atlas , @ashalay88 @sammimillette @mrs.rcleveland @lizibear84 ... I'm still in disbelief. one of her daughters got frustrated with her and not wanting to take him to the er that she left. she called the child mother and her response was (if you think he is OK then I'm fine with that) and his swelling on the back of his head hasn't gone down at all.... actually got bigger

situations like that are hard. but there isn't really much more you could do. you showed your concern, and gave suggestions on what should be done, and they can take it or leave it. I just hope for the child's sake, that he is okay.

@sammimillette, I do too.... it's scary. f* the dinner, the company, and everybody else. somebody lock my house up. I'm going to the er. it's unbelievable other parents... 😱... I feel like just because your a veteran in child birth doesn't give you a medical license on lumps and bumps. what could be hives might be popped blood vessels....
