Hi all,
The other night I was cooking dinner and my two sons (3 and 4) were playing in the family room which is very normal in the household. My DH is sleeping because he works the night shift. So the routine is when Mommy is cooking dinner you play Legos in the family room. This usually works out great. Well, they were playing kind of rough when I heard the 3 yo grunt loud. I yelled from the kitchen,"knock it off guys!" I was in the middle of stirring rice. And they are always doing little things to irk each other. A few seconds passed and my 3 yo comes into the kitchen and from behind me I hear THUD. I look behind me and he is crying---then he PASSED OUT on the floor! I picked him up and yelled for him to wake up and shook him a little and his eyes rolled back in his head and he went limp ( I was soooo close to dialing 911) but he came around and he started crying saying that his brother(4) kicked him in the throat. I finally got the info out of my 4 yo --he said they were playing a game and he put his foot out and the 3 yo ran into his leg at neck level. My 3 yo said several times that his "neck hurt" so I called the urgent care in our area. I told the nurse the whole story. She said to bring him in and have him checked. So I woke up DH and told him the story and I left for urgent care with my son. Well, turns out that he got the wind knocked out of him and a certain nerve was struck and he got dizzy and passed out from it. Talk about scary. He is perfectly fine though, thank God. Needless to say, I had a HUGE talk with the boys about rough-housing. My 4 yo felt awful and he was crying almost all night about "hurting his brother." That was the scariest ordeal I have ever encountered at home.
