Bradleys First Trip To The Hospital

On Wednesday Bradley had his first trip to the hospital. Here's how it happened. Emmalee and Bradley were playing on my moms jogging stroller, they were standing up and leaning over the handle bar and the stroller fell backwards and Bradley got flung off the back of the stroller and smacked his cheek on the tile floor in our hall way. I called my mom (because she is a nurse) and asked her what i should do. His face was already swollen and his mouth and nose were both bleeding. She told me to take him to the hospital because he may have broken a bone in his cheek. When we got to the hospital they took a catscan of his hole head. The results came back and he had a minor concussion and lots of bruising. We are so blessed and lucky that he wasn't more seriously hurt. Here are some pictures Brian took with my phone sorry if they aren't very clear.
This is Bradley when we were
waiting to be taken to a room and i
kept on getting him to wake up but
this time I failed. He was so exhausted
Here he is in the catscan he did so well.
He actually fell a sleep
And another of him in the catscan
This is after he woke up from a good
nap and was happy and back to his
normal self climbing on the chairs
in his hospital room. We went home
about 20 min after this pic was taken.
P.S If any one was wondering Emmalee was not hurt in this accident.
