Enraged-Programmer

Yesterday my 2 yr old took a hard dive off the bed and smashed her head on the corner of the night stand. She didn't really pass out but she was very dazed- I freaked out (mostly because of how it looked-there was a dent in her forehead that's now a big bump) and called 911. They came out and looked her over and basically said to ice it and watch her closely. I felt really dumb for calling them out for what amounted to a bump on the head, and guilty for using their time when they could have been somewhere else more urgent. Are calls like mine common or am I the doofus-mom of the week?

Thanks, that makes me feel alot better :) I babyproofed this house to the extreme, but toddlers are just so hellbent on hurting themselves. I could never do your job because I wouldn't be able to take hearing all the pain on the other end of the phone. You're a true hero.
