    this happened to one of my DCB a few months ago. He some how knocked the tv down in his room and it hit him on the head/eye.

    The moms boyfriend dropped off the kid in the morning with a huge blackeye and a bandaid going accross his eye and forehead. I could not belive me eyes it looked so horrible.. I asked if they took him to the doctors and she said for what?? I was in shock.

    My husband has a medical background, so he looked him over and said he looked ok, but made the mom take him back home...

    in the end, nothing was medically wrong with the child, but I wasnt taking any chances..

    sorry you have to deal with this, its stressful and sad..

      generally if there is a serious injury there will be signs right away and not signs that you can ignore - meaning their eyes rolling back in their heads or blood coming from their ears.

      i took my son to the ER way before i even thought about becoming a nurse bc he hit his head and a HUGE knot popped up like the size of an egg. the doctor didn't seem concerned and i asked how to know when i should bring him in bc i suspected it wouldn't be the last head injury.

      he did have a couple more scares and i just called the "ask a nurse" hotline and kept an eye on him. i had always heard not to let kids sleep after they hit their head too, but it turns out that's another myth.

      honestly, i wouldn't have taken him to the doctor either - JMO.
