Symphony... that doesn't make you a bad mother. You need to let the kids bond. Accidents happen. It's never easy watching your children in pain, it will always make you feel helpless. I remember my son's school called me when he was in 4th grade, the nurse said, we need you to come pick up your son we think he needs stitches. i lived in topanga canyon, without a car, a normal drive would 25 mins away. luckily my boyfriends mom wasn't too far and came to pick me up and take us to the hospital. it was awful, i'm supposed to be strong for him,and wound up almost passing out and throwing up while they tried to stitch his knee up.. ugh. i felt terrible. the most important thing i learned was letting him experience. i wanted to shelter him, but i didn't want him to grow up fearful. now he's a rough tough 17 year old, unless it's me who gets hurt, he doesnt' deal well with that.. ha ha haha.. he's becoming the adult and i'm becoming the child...

Scrapes, bumps, limps, bruises, etc. happen EVERYDAY and they SEE IT everyday! Don't think that way. I'm just glad he's okay. Don't beat yourself up for this! It happens ALL the time. You're a good mum.

Symph - I got chewed out by a doctor when my two oldest daughters
were small because a shampoo bottle fell in the tub and Sarah drank it before I could grab it from her since I was holding her little sister's head above water. He told me I was a bad mother for allowing my child to bathe unsupervised. Asshole. I was a good mother - AM a good mother - and so ware you.

You're doing fine
If you can lissen to one more story - I'll tell you about the parcial toncelectomy my son tryed on him self. When he was about 1 and a half to 2 years old. I would leave him with the sitters and go to work at the Hospital. When I got to work - I was paged to go to the emergency room. There is my son with some sort of bump or scrape. Next day I leave him with the sitter and when I get to the hospital - again i'm paged to go to the emergeny room. Another minor scrape or something. The dr. looks at me and says don't bring him back tommorow. I respond He probabely will be. The next day when I get to work -----yes you guessed it --- go to the emergency room. Aparentely --this day my son was running in the hall way and slid into a trycycle . his mouth went sliding down the trycycle handle ( no rubber protecter on it ) and ----long story short did a one 4th. of a toncelectomy on his self. The Dr.---- looks at me ans sais " I guess you wern't kidding.
The child--- he is 35 now and still just as onery

Symphony,
all Mom's go through this at least once. My daughter had so many lumps on her head I thought she was going to be brain damaged. She hit her head off the table, her toy box and fell down the stairs. It was like she was looking for ways to get hurt. But she is fine now and despite the horrible guilt so am I. Don't worry luv, you are doing fine and Jamie will be fine too - just another story to tell about him when he starts dating!

The comment from Tanoolicious reminded me of something. When my youngest daughter was a tiny baby, I went through agonies of guilt because I thought I'd given her permanent brain damage. Most of the time she slept in bed with me and fed on and off all night, but sometimes I would put her in her cot if I wanted to stretch out and relax more. One night when she was only 6 or 7 weeks old she just wouldn't settle, in my bed or in her cot (turned out she was going through a growth spurt and my milk supply hadn't quite caught-up) so I fed her and then realised she needed her nappy changing. I was really tired and asked her father to do it. He had the nerve to moan and say he needed his sleep (like I didn't?!), insisting he hadn't slept all night (so why had he been snoring?!) so in the end I just stormed out of bed, grabbing the baby as I went, and stomped downstairs. It was about 6 or 7 am by then and I really hadn't slept all night, as a result I was so tired I miscalculated the distance of space between the lounge door and the wall and ended-up walking into the door with the baby's head. Believe me, you never want to hear screaming like I heard then, it was absolutely heart-wrenching. It wasn't just her either, I joined in shortly afterwards. In the end her father had to get up to drive us to the hospital. While we were waiting to see a doctor, he had the nerve to go to sleep in a chair. As it turned out, she was unharmed - as the doctor said, you'd be surprised how tough a baby's skull is. But if I'd gone purely by the noise she made ... I heard that screaming for a long time afterwards and even though she was smiling and gurgling again once she woke up, it didn't stop me feeling guilty. She's none the worse for it now, incidentally. She's a clever girl and I don't think it's affected her in any way. Anyway, hopefully you will feel less guilty now!

Symphony its normal to feel bad..... ok i dont have any children but i count my cat as my baby and one time i was walking through the house and crashed her head on the side of the door.... lol it sounds funny but i felt soooooo bad, i kept apologizing and i think she was too dazed to accept my apology....
ok i know its a stupid story but im trying to lighten things up.......
All babies fall over and hurt themselves etc... that way they learn not to do what they did before..... he wants to run around and explore things on his newly found walking powers lol
the way you spoke at the hospital has no impact on your behaviours as a mom, you were scared and i know i would have babbled and fallen apart..... rest for a while

SYMPH - Beautiful, beautiful children. I'm sorry your son got hurt.
My four boys were so active they always looked like I had been beating them about the head and neck. I'm surprised no one ever accused me or my hubby of abuse. Even really good Mom's can't protect their children from everything no matter how hard you try.

Sym, it's okay, stuff like that always seems to happen. When I was in and around your son's age I tripped over my uncle's foot (he was baby sitting) and cracked my head on the coffee table. I had to have stitches; the scar is still there. Then there was my cousin who not once but TWICE cracked her head on the fireplace. Something about my family, I think...
