5 min before leaving the house to take my 15 month old to nursery he ran straight into a cupboard at full speed. He cried for a bit but not long. He's got a bump and it's become a bit blue but I didn't monitor him for long. I had a stupid (important) meeting that I had to attend so iced the area for 5 min or less (he didn't really let me do it). He seemed perfectly fine (except for the bump). Then I dropped him off at nursery, told them about the accident and requested them to keep an eye on him.
Now of course we have got second thoughts. Should we have taken him to a n e? Both dh and me are snowed under with work, with important deadlines coming up and I can't really afford to spend the day at a n e. But of course that means nothing if there's a risk of serious injury. Uggh I just don't know what to do. I'll call the nursery in a bit to ask how he's doing but would it be safer to take him to a n e? I don't want to call 111 as they always ask me to go to a n e anyway. Also, I's have to pick him up first as they want the person you are calling about to be with you.
I don't know. I rushed to a n e every time with my older one but have become.kore confident with the younger one but is this the one time when it actually is necessary? If he seems fine does that mean he is fine? And should I trust the nursery to watch out for concerning symptoms?
Ugggh. And am I horrible to be so concerned about work instead? I really should have iced the area properly shouldn't I?
