It's is always something

Last week after Kenzi's baptism we were all over at my parents having dinner and just hanging out. Kooper was running from the dinning room into the kitchen and hit his head right on the side of my Mom's hutch. It knocked him to the ground. He came up jumping and screaming and crying. I picked him up, gave him a love and checked out the damage. His head had a major goose egg on it and it was bleeding. It was a weird looking bump. I hadn't quiet seen a bump like this one. Believe me I have seen about a million of them and most of them on him. He is one tough kid too. I know he is really hurt when he cries because half the time he doesn't cry and I think he should be. So I knew this one hurt him. After a little ice he was up and running again. This happened about 2 hours before bed. He went to bed easy this night because he hadn't had a nap. About 4 in the morning he comes into my room and says that his neck hurts really bad. I was in a dead sleep when he woke me up. I crawled out of bed with my eyes still closed and got him a drink of water. I asked him if that was better and he said yes. Then he snuggled right down next to me. He never said another word about it. The next morning I was in my bathroom brushing my teeth and I turned around to see Kooper standing there. He looked awful. He said, "Mom, my neck hurts." Oh my goodness it looked awful. His ear, neck, in front of and behind his ear was all swollen. It was red behind his ear too. Anyway of course I kinda freak out... but not out loud. I hurry and take him to Luke and show him. We decided that because it was on his face and head that we didn't want to chance anything. For those of you who know me I usually wait out going to the Dr. office unless it is an Emergency. Which Kooper's seemed to be. I was really torn though because it was our ward's primary program. It was going to be Kooper's first program and Kyron's last. I was really looking forward to seeing all my kids sing and perform their parts. Oh well. So I take him to the ER. We got right in. After the Dr. checked him all out he said that Koop had hit his head so hard that it had caused a hemotoma. Because it was on his head and has nowhere else for the bruising and swelling to go it tend to go toward gravity. Which explained the all the swelling and redness on his neck, face and ear. So they sent us home. Well I was relieved to know that it was nothing too major.

The Dr. asked him, "Did you just walk into the cabinet?" Kooper says, "no, I just wunned (runned) into it!"

I took these pictures on Tuesday morning.

It looks WAY better in these pictures but it still looked a little yucky and a little swollen to me.

Look at those beautiful blue eyes.

They just look like they don't feel very good.

It has almost been a week and he still looks about the same.

He woke up in the middle of the night saying that it still hurt him.

Then again when he woke up this morning.

He was crying saying that his neck hurts!

I can't even run water over it without it hurting him.

What do I do?

Should it take this long to heal?

Poor little guy.

I just feel so bad for him.

I hate it when my kids are sick or hurt.

I hope it gets better soon.
