Never a dull moment....

Last night Patrick fell in the bathroom and hit his head on the bathtub. He cried for a second but was fine. We didn't think anything of it after that.
This morning I got a call from daycare that he had been crying that his head hurt. Then he would start doing something and just stop and grab his head (the side he hit) and cry that it hurt. So I left work and called the pediatrician. They told me to get him to the ER for a cat scan right away.
He was sooo good. I mean if we didn't already have a dog, he was "you deserve a puppy" good.
He didnt cry once. Didn't whine. Nothing. Just hung out until they took us in for the scan. He thought he was so cool on the wheelchair...waving to everyone like a celebrity. They were going to sedate him but decided to give him a chance to try it without. He was great. He didn't even move an inch. He thought it was the coolest thing. He said it was like a spaceship.
Cat scan was clear. The doctor said no concussion. It could have been a headache from the hit, but his ear was looking a little red as well, so she gave him some medication and off we went. Here's some camera phone shots from our day.
