Sean fell and hit his head on the cement


So Sean has fallen a lot lately and it is starting to make me nervous.

On Monday we played at the pool with Amanda and Leah, which was LOTS of fun. Sean wanted to play on the park afterwards and was climbing up the mountain climber and fell off and hit the back of his head. He was fine, he acted fine all night and the next day,

On Tuesday at school I get a call from the nurse and I said uh oh what happened. Sean fell on the cement and has a bump on his head, arms, knees.



Tuesday afternoon he got home and we went and saw the doctor I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. He checked him out and all is fine just a few bumps and bruises.

Yesterday he kept grabbing on to me or other people to catch his balance. Well this morning I looked at him and his one leg is a little longer than the other. The doctor and therapists told me this could happen especially since the stroke sometimes the effected side could grow slower. So now we get to do the stretching he loves oh so much (I wish) even more times a day.


Here are a few pictures from yesterday you can only see the bump/bruise on his forehead. It is smaller than it was the day before, the day before it was protruding from his head. And we are also waiting for an SMO for his right foot the effected since the AFO is causing bruising around his leg:(.

AFO and SMO

So we got Sean's AFO and SMO's last night and since he has had them on he has fallen at least 5 times while trying to walk, run, stairs, and play.

I know they take extra time to get use to but did this happen with your little ones?

Sean fell face first on the ground last night, granted he didn't even cry but he has a nice big red mark on his face that made me cry.

If this did happen how long did it take to get use to, or how did you get them use to them?

Thanks
