I have been looking after another CM's mindee today while she is on holiday. All has gone swimmingly and he seems to have really enjoyed himself
. ................. then one hour before he is due to be picked up he has fallen off the enclosed trampoline whilst trying to get a ball..........nooooooooooo.
He had a right lump on the back of his head and although he was fine and wanting to go back on after three minutes, I am still worried. I put on a cold compress his head, not mine), checked that there was no indentation of the lump and comforted and chatted to him. I also called his parents to let them know and also to say that I didn't want to give him his tea incase they wanted to take him to A & E. Kept checking him every five mins and he wasn't sleepy, his eyes looked fine and he was happy and responsive and didn't feel sick or tired. I also filled out an accident report and went through it with the Dad and reminded him of what to be on the look out for, though I did say, I thought it would be best to check it out whatever.
I am now sitting here hoping he is okay and just wanting a bit of reassurance that I did the right thing. Did I?
I'm not worried about the parents, I actually know dad from years ago and he was absolutely fine about it all and wasn't concerned that it had happened and said "he's a little boy, they are always getting into scrapes and bashing themselves".
sorry I will stop going on now.................
