So my daughter bumped her head earlier on in the day , she seemed fine . We iced it . She went to gmas for a little bit. When I picked her up it was still a small green dot , we came home went about our routine . And right before bed it looks like this . Emergency 🚨 or non emergency?
What did she bump her head on and did you do pupil checks? Did she vomit?
What did she bump her head on and did she seem tired? Yawning and such? Was she ever non responsive?
I wasn’t around right when it happened but she came to me right after , and she was upset . But seemed fine.
I don't know. I had a scare with my daughter a few weeks ago. She fell of the couch and hit her head on our hardwood floor. I took her to ER. She had a slight concussion but she was fine. This is your call. Go with your gut Mama
@awesome1377, what should I keep looking out for ? It’s just weird how it turned purple and swelled hours later . Like it was green when we picked her up then hour later like that ?
@camillezeober20 everything I saw when I Googled it said you need to watch for vomiting and excessive sleepiness. That's hard to do when its bedtime tho.
This happened this morning , this picture is what it looks like now before bedtime.
If you feel like you should then take her to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry. I refused the scan because it's radiation concerns for such a little child. I was so scared I had to. Alot of ppl prob think I overreacted but my daughter was acting very sleepy and not responding.
@awesome1377, well papas saying she wasn’t unresponsive, or sleepy . And she didn’t go down for nap until hours later . So every seeeeeems fine but any owie on my daughter scares the shit out of me , she is my first .
- The injury itself. Is the area harder or softer than the rest of the head ?
@camillezeober20 me too. It scares the living shit out of me too! This is your call. You decide what you want to do. I'd you were there you would have a better take on it
@beccaaalynnn11, it was kind of in between I’m not sure . I can’t remember. She’s asleep now so I can’t check. Could you tell me why?
- Just to see if she’s got any real head trauma. Does she still have a soft spot ?
@beccaaalynnn11, like if I ran my hand on it it was noticeable and slightly hard , but if I touch it directly id say it was soft
@awesome1377 my daughter fell off her bed and hit her head on her frame.(she was jumping) but clear stuff was running out of her nose I freaked out I took her to the er and she had xrays and an MRI done I felt bad bit I just wanted to make sure my baby was okay. She had a concussion. @camillezeober20 keep an eye on her for 48 hours. Make sure shes doing everything she would normally do. No vomiting. No blood or clear liquid coming from her ears or nose. Make sure she can move her arms and legs. They recommended me to have her sleep in our room for the next 48 hours because you will be more aware. If shes not walking or talking or moving her arms as she would normally take her to the er immediately. And persist vomiting is a sign if it's more than twice then take her in.
- If she behaved normal the rest of the day, then I’d say you have nothing to worry about. But also, the fact that it went from a bruise to a blood blister would bother me personally. I’d take her in, for ease of mind and go make sure she’s okay .. But I’m scared to death anytime anything is different for my baby 😅🙈
Take her in!! This shouldn’t even be a question!! You need to take her in to examined to be safe!! @camillezeober20,
- @phoebesmommy has a point.. If she behaved normally, then she’s probably fine. But it doesn’t hurt to make sure. Unless you count the wallet hurt 😅 Let us know what they say if you go. 💪🏻💕
- @cantknockmedown, I read that with such panic. Idk if you meant it that way or not 😅 I’m not a doctor, too much schooling for me, but it looks like a simple blood blister ..
@beccaaalynnn11, not worried about paying for it . I just think that it’s probably like any other goose egg she has had , and she hasn’t had any symptoms of serious injury .
@beccaaalynnn11, no I don’t mean it with panic ..but I do think she should take her in
Ouch. At the least, I'd call her pediatrician and see what they say. (Our pediatricians office has an on call nurse and doctor at all times, does yours?) I don't know, that looks weird. My son fell and hit his head once, had a nice sized goose egg and bruise, but nothing else. He was fine but boy did I watch him. I was ready to go to the ER at a moments notice should something change.
I've taken him to the ER just to ease my mind for a different issue. It's always better to be safe, even if you feel like it's a waste of time. But usually we call the hotline and get reassurance from the nurse/doctor.
- Did you guys know that in recent studies they’ve learned that going to sleep after a concussion versus staying awake doesn’t change anything .. 🤷🏻♀️ Thought that was interesting..
@beccaaalynnn11, yeah ☺️ I know it can be hard to interpret how it’s written rather then said lol
- I’m sure she’s fine. Again, not a doctor.. But yeah. Call her doc in the morning. You know your baby. If something were wrong, I’d like to think you’d notice.
- My first thought was like damn, don’t panic her lmbo I can see the hysterical mom at the Er check in and then the doctor being like calm down, we’ll do some tests, just to make sure it’s a blood blister. 😅 Now I’m thinking about a woman at a counter with a wad of cash “TAKE MY MONEY” 😅😅 I need to get off here and sleep 💀 @cantknockmedown,
@camillezeober20, I hope your little one is okay fingers crossed 🤞🏻 and praying 🙏🏻
