A Little Accident

I received a call from the day care owner, M, last Friday morning. As usual, every time I receive her call, my heart beat will increase by double in split seconds. You know, they won't be calling to tell you that your son was crawling for the first time or your son enjoys the music class. There must be something....something not desirable that have just happened to your son.

So, M told me that there was a red spot on Ethan's left eye. She said it's not very serious but advised me to bring Ethan to the doctor. I wasn't very sure of what happened to Ethan. Being the usual me, I cannot wait until the evening to find out what happened to my baby. I zoomed off to the day care and saw the red spot, more like a blood spot. That worried me. I quickly called the clinic to make an appointment and off we went to see the paed.

The paed said the blood vessels burst and it was caused by trauma. Either Ethan was rubbing his eye too hard or he knocked on something but he's ok and can see things as usual. What a relief. He said the red spot will go away by itself within a week and medication is not necessary. He was perfectly normal that morning and I'm sure he didn't knock on anything at home. So I thought he must have either rubbed his eye too hard or knocked on something at the daycare. On Sunday, we noticed that there was a little greyish area under his left eye. I think this confirmed that he knocked on something lar.

I've been telling myself that kids do get bruises from time to time especially when they start crawling and walking and 'please don't be panick'. But when things like this really happen, I guess I cannot just be cool about it.

Look at the red spot on his left eye.
He was watching Barney at that time.
