Pic right after his fall--still smiling--what a sweetie! He is so brave--he kept telling me "it's ok mommy, I'm tough-that's the way God made me."
Pics that night--it just kept swelling--I kept ice on it on and off all day even though I know it only helps right after, but I hoped it would stop the swelling. Poor guy--my dad said he looked like the guy off of star trek!
Pics last night and today--here come the double "shiners!!"
Well, it looks worse than it is, or at least that is what the Hematologist at St. Jude tells us! Grayton was running down the hallway the other day, slipped, and fell into the wall. For those of you who don't know, Grayton was diagnosed with Type 2B Von Willebrand Disease almost 2 years ago by the amazing hematology group at St. Jude--it is a bleeding disorder that just causes him to bruise and bleed easily, so any little bump is a big deal for him! Poor little guy--he looks like someone smacked him between the eyes with a baseball bat! He is tough though--he never complained of it hurting or anything, but me being the worrysome mother gave him Tylenol around the clock for 2 days because I was scared he would get a headache! I did not sleep at all the night it happened--I was checking his pupillary response, heart rate, and waking him every couple of hours to be sure he did not have a concussion. Boy, it must stink to have a FNP for a mother! However he is so proud of his 2 black "shiners" on his eyes! They were his "show and tell" for school on Friday!
