Big Badda Boom

Well it finally happened today. It was bound to happen at some point, but we’ve been so lucky so far that we got complacent that maybe we were different. We put Troy on our bed to stretch out like he likes to do, and we left him to get him something to drink. The moment we walked out of the room, we heard a “thunk” and the baby started screaming these screeching wails. My wife raced into the room and found him laying on the floor next to our bed, which is a good three-foot drop onto our brand-new hardwood floors. I came racing from the other room a moment later to find both of them crying. I asked her to put him on the bed so I could look him over, but other than a small red mark on the side of his head, I didn’t see anything suspicious. We decided to take him to the urgent care anyway to get him checked out. They confirmed that nothing appeared to be broken or injured. We now have to monitor him for the next 24 hours to make sure he doesn’t start vomiting, crying excessively, or have any obvious swelling or bruising.
