I posted at length about this incident a few days ago. https://ift.tt/2L58F45 basics are, I took a hard fall on our front steps while carrying my 7 month old son and, although he initially checked out at the ER, I was having some anxiety about it.Fast forward to yesterday. My wife and I noticed that we were feeling a popping or crackling sensation in his ribs on the right side. We met with our pediatrician who thought it could be fractured ribs and sent us for xrays.So I basically feel like total crap right now. I know that it's normal for kids to get hurt, but the idea that I broke a part of my son, even as part of an accident totally out of my hands is really tearing me up inside.Thankfully he doesn't seem to be in much pain, but when he does cry or act u comfortable, I feel like someone is tearing a hole in my heart. He is just now learning to crawl and he is working so hard and the idea that doing this will cause him pain now just feels so unfair.I'm mad at the ER doctors for missing this the first time around, and mad at myself for... I don't know... Not being able to read the future and know I was going to slip. Rant over for now. Hopefully I feel slightly less like garbage in the morning. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Yyjpeu
