Jace Was Goosed!

Goose Egged that is!

I got one of those calls from the daycare that make your heart drop this morning. I

t was the director and scared the poop out of me! 

Jace hit his head while playing outside and it swelled out of his head. That is good but they were concerned about this since he has seizures. Also, after the head bump he was unusually calm. That had them worried.

JB went to the daycare to check on him and he sent me a picture of the boo boo

Not a great picture but you can see the Goose Egg on the left side of his forehead.

JB wanted to check with the Neurosurgeon if the would be a reason for concern come the day of surgery. I called and they suggested we take him into his pedi to see if they felt he needed a CT scan.

So off to the pediatrician we went....

When I picked him up from daycare for the appointment the knot had gone down quite a bit but I took him in anyway. The pediatrician gave him the all clear. What a sigh of relief that was!

Its crazy to think that his surgery is only a week away. It feels like forever away but then again as each days passes its gone by TOO quick!

We have gotten a maid set up to come in and sanitize the house so when Jace returns home there is less of a concern about infection. Along with this, JB and I have decided to not have visitors at the house the week we return home.

Visitors at the hospital are different - his head will be bandaged up. When we go home those wounds will be exposed. Maybe we are being overly cautious but Jace's health is nothing we will put lightly.

And we would like visitors at the hospital with the exception of the days of actual surgery. Jace will be going to the ICU those nights and there is hardly any room for both parents - much less visitors. Also, during the waiting time for Jace to get out of surgery we don't want people there. I don't want to feel that we need to socialize or entertain. JB and I will be there for each other and ask that time to be for us.

And now to close this with some cute Jace pictures and videos

Being silly and roped to the chair at lunch time :)
