Goose Egg
Nicole bumped her head on Thursday. She had been playing with a blanket on her head when we heard a loud thump and a cry in the hallway. Her head swelled so quickly that it was as if you could actually see it getting bigger and it was very scary looking. I started to panic. The swelling was so abnormal looking that I started imagining the worst, like perhaps she had cracked her head open or something. We were contemplating a run to the ER when we did some quick research on the internet and discovered that it probably wasn’t a big deal. We checked for signs of a concussion and found none. Plus, by this time she had stopped crying and noticed some candy which she promptly requested.
We gave her some Tylenol and she refused to let us ice it. Within 10 minutes, the swelling had gone down some and by the next morning you could hardly tell. 
I keep waiting for the entire side of her face to turn purple, but so far her hair mostly covers it and it’s hardly even noticeable.
