It all happened unexpectedly, as I got carried away with washing the bottles thinking Daddy was checking on him. But not knowing Daddy also got carried away with some glue that stuck on his hands (I can't remember what is was for now). Then suddenly Daddy heard Zylan crying and called for me to go up and comfort him. So I ran upstairs into our bedroom. When I noticed he wasn't in our bed...my mind went 'Oh SHIT'. I panicked and tried to trace him by his cries when I found him lying on the floor next to our bed. He was face down with half his body under the cot.
I carried him out and comforted him. Half his face was red, due to the fall. Luckily no cuts anywhere on the face. Zylan didn't really cry much so I wasn't sure to be even more worried about it or not. He cuddled close to me and just wanted to go back to sleep. So I just carried him and let him fall asleep again.
I tried to check my ever trusty handbook but I couldn't find anything for this kind of emergency. Quick thinking Daddy went on the Internet and found that we should keep him awake for at least an hour. So I quickly woke Zylan up again, and try to play with him.
Keeping him awake wasn't too difficult because Zylan is naturally playful :-) But I think he was quite confused at us trying hard to keep him awake instead.
Thankfully he was alright. For the next 2 hours we kept him awake there were no signs of vomiting, nausea or confusion or anything. The next day he was still very much okay. But we decided better to bring him for a visit to Dr Altaf just for ease of my mind.
Sunday was usually packed with sick children and I didn't want him contacting anything from them. So we stayed in the car while waiting for our turn.
Had to managed an over-excited Zylan trying to explore the entire back half of the car plus me and the infant carrier in it :-p
Lucky brought some toys with me.When it was out turn we rushed him in past all the noisy and obstructive kids into Dr Altaf's room.
Daddy was carrying Zylan with him facing forward. Dr Altaf did a physical check on Zylan's head, while Zylan was swinging his legs waiting patiently.
The leg swinging really amused Dr Altaf, as he gave the green light for Zylan, he made a comment "I guess if he is swinging his legs so happily then he is fine" :-)
The next few days a little yellow bump showed on his forehead. The bruise showed after 2 days.
It's really not that easy to spot the yellow patch. We told my MIL that he knocked his head on the floor while playing. Reason cause I just didn't want her to know and also cause this might be a cause for them to be less attentive.
Not to mention the whole Yew clan will be at our home commenting on the incident.
Anyways, when we went over to my MIL's house, she came running out to see him. She was very concerned for Zylan, while she was inspecting his head she commented in Hokkien "Mmm chai anh chuah kor".
Wow....that kinda stabbed me directly in the heart.
