If something or someone sustanes a head injury, you watch them very closely. if they at any time develop nausea, vomiting, headache, staggering, high pitched squeal or cry, or lethargy (sleepiness)....any change in neuro vital signs after a head injury can indicate a slow bleed in the head.....Now personally, I am huge proponent of crisis prevention as opposed to crisis management....I like to avoid problems rather than trying to fix them once they have become evident. I would be watching his eyes...are they bright, are they focused, are the not rolling around in his head, are the pupils equal and react to light....as long as all that is OK, and he isnt vomiting or acting drunk or anything weird, I think you are OK....but these babies are fragile and when they fall on a hard surface from 3 feet, it may take a day or so for the brain to swell enough to be noticable....if he gets difficult to wake up from his naps, also that is a bad sign.... |
