Momma called the doctor and the doctor said, "No more Blazer's standing on a stool!" Okay, maybe it doesn't rhyme but that's what happened unfortunately. Thursday night around 9pm, Blaze and Hays were in the kitchen drawing on their ping pong paddles for whatever reason. Blaze was standing on a three foot utility stool and Hays turned away for just a second; that's when Blaze fell off backwards. The only thing that broke his fall was the hard kitchen tile and the back of his head. We were horrified as he looked at us with glossy eyes and leaned to the side while he tried to stand. Hays and I knew something wasn't right immediately. I called 911 and the ambulance was there within 10 minutes. Blaze never went out but he was about to...he couldn't keep his eyes open. After some serious vomitting, we found out about an hour later after a cat scan that Blaze had fractured his skull right at the base, plus he of course had a nasty concussion. The doctor said he had to have hit very hard to have fractured that area as it is the thickest part of your skull. (At least we gave him a good thick head in more ways than one.) They put him in Pedi ICU for 24 hours for observation as their biggest concern was swelling, bruising or bleeding of the brain. He did amazing...he was the bravest little boy in the whole wide world. We got out at 8pm Friday night and you could never tell anything was wrong since...he is completely normal and not even the slightest headache. We have said many thankful prayers since.

So good to hear that everything turned out the way it did. That's just what the Pedi ICU is for. He's a tough kid. He'll be all crazy again before you know it.
How sad for Blaze and you and Hayes. That's the worst thing ever for your child to hurt and you are not able to fix it. I am so glad he is okay. Blaze defiantly had angels watching over him!
