TessLea's boo boo

TessLea was playing in my bed one day and I turned my back for a second to grab a diaper and she fell off! I felt so horrible! She cried for about 15 minutes then was fine. I checked her head and gave her some medicine in case she got a headache. Didn't think much about it. She's been fine and acting like her normal happy self. Then almost a week later my brother Justin was holding her. He noticed there was a bump on the side of her head and it was full of fluid! It was as round as a baseball! There was no bruising at all and didn't seem to bother her. I do her hair everyday and never noticed it, which made me feel worse! I called the Doc the next morning and they got her in immediately. They checked her out and said they needed to do X-rays. So we got those done, the guy doing them was such a jerk to me. I was already a mess and his rudeness made me feel worse. Tess screamed through the whole thing, and that made me cry! We waited in the hall for results for about 20 minutes. Then they said the X-rays showed something but they needed a ct scan to make sure what it was. So again more torture but this time I got to stand next to Tess and hold her feet still as the nicer gentleman held her arms and head still. Tess was freaking out, cried so hard she started to fall asleep. I cried some more, I hate seeing my kids hurt scared or sad! Breaks my heart! She was a trooper, finally fell asleep in my arms as we waited for the results at the pediatricians office. They finally called us back and said she has a skull fracture. It is a crack about 3cm big. It wasn't depressed meaning the crack isn't going towards the brain. That was good news. They are checking her head again on Monday. We have to watch her and be careful with her poor little head. They will do the check up then repeat the X-rays and ct scan in 2 weeks to make sure she's healing good. Tess has been so good, she had a little swelling in her ears but they don't seem to be bothering her now. Her pediatrician said I shouldn't beat myself up, accidents happen, and with these kinds of fractures, the swelling doesn't show up until about a week later. That made me feel better for not noticing right away. You honestly can't see the bump unless you are looking for it because her head is so round! Houston watched a movie with her when we got back. he was so sweet and careful with her! Tess is still her happy smiling little self just with a boo boo on her head! But it is getting better, I've noticed it is shrinking! Thank goodness! We appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts!
