Suffering From Small Head Injury After A Fall
My grandson 6 months old, fell off the crib, obviously hitting his head on hard floor. He was crying for a while but started playing afterwards. Noticed a 1" dia dent on left side of head. Took him to the doc who said not to worry but to watch him for next 48 hours.
