Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
the most important part of the story is that your son did not lose consciousness upon impact. Because of this, there is no need to run to an emergency room. I recommend keeping your appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will be able to examine him, and advise you as to what your next step Should be. Good luck.
