My little boy was in the living room, last night, and my husband and I were pumping the sink because I clogged it up. Well I popped on here for a second and the next thing I hear is my little boy screaming. My husband and I ran in there and my son was bleeding all over the place from his mouth. We had no idea what happened, we looked everywhere and found nothing that could cause this sort of wound.
We cleaned him, got the bleeding to clam down, and put a band aid on him. From what we could see he busted the outside of his lip, and bit the inside of his mouth. I think the only thing that could have happened was he fell and hit his mouth on the corner of the coffee table. That's the only reasonable explanation I have. I plan on taking him to the docs today just to have it looked over. I just feel bad that whatever happened, happened because I wasn't watching.

Awww - you just cannot be everywhere at once. I understand the feeling though - my son has had many accidents when I haven't been watching and a Mom is instinctively protective and guilty all at once!
Try not to feel bad - it wasn't your fault! I'm sure you son will be just fine. Let us know what the doc says.

I'm sorry for what happened...it always makes you feel like you're som kind of scum when that happens!
I remember when my youger daughter was about 6 months old...I was sitting at the dinner table with her sitting face forward toward the table on my lap. She decided to sit up REALLY FAST and slammed her forehead into the corner of the table! I was sure she had caved in her head, caused a concussion and would surely perish soon, or at least be severely brain-damaged...and it was my fault! Of course, she turned out fine, and I finally realized it wasn't really my fault. But boy did I feel bad! I hope your young'un is OK... Hugs, DJ

Poor little guy!
I agree...you can't be everywhere at once! Give yourself a break because accidents happen....this is all it was...an accident.

((((((((((desirae)))))))))))))))) and send a couple to that little boy who certainly needs them
I so remember the days of my kids hurting themselves... but the truth is you just can not be with them every second of every minute.... he will have many more bumps and bruises before his young life turns into manhood.... I will pray that they are all the normal ones that each child experiences at some time... take care and don't be so hard on yourself.. i can tell you are good mom just by the tone of your post... he will be showing off his puffy lip before you know it and be begging you for the popsicles that feel so good...LOL many more hugs to you and yours...Linda |

We went to the Doc's the next morning and the Doc giggled and said everything was fine and I being extra careful is okay. He did prescribe some antibotics because it was looking a little red on the inside of his mouth.
He's okay now, it will just be a cool scar he can tell people about when he's older, kind of like the scar I have on my face. Thanks alot for your support.
