Mornin' Gloop,

Glad your son is ok. I have been through similar things with two of my three young 'uns and it is maybe worse for the parent than for the kid. Sometimes the kid's reaction is just a learned response to the fact that the parents are upset around them, other times it just hurts. Evolution protects us more than anything. The skull plate does not fully form until the second half of the first year of life. This allows it to compress safely during childbirth, and yet, when they are old enough to toddle or walk around and get into real trouble, the head they fall on is a fully formed protective shell. Just remember, kids are in many ways a lot more resilient than parents.

And take Smithee's advice, watch for funny behaviors which might indicate something got knocked loose (very unlikely, but still you need to watch for it .... the worrying never ends with little ones).

Have a good week,

MAD DOG

P.S. Remember the news story a few years back where some Packer fan was in a private plane crash and had his life saved by the foam Cheesehead hat he was wearing? (I seem to recall it absorbed the impact of his head hitting the instrument panel or something.) You might want to have your son wear one of those at all times for the next couple of years<g>.
