The Goose Egg
Jaimie on Jun 4th 2008
My boss at taekwondo was here last night with her two kids. Her computer at the studio is totally infested with viruses, spyware, ad programs… well, it has been invaded. We are slowly trying to fix it, but we needed to order a number of things for the studio so I invited her to my house to use the internet there.
While we were ordering things, her kids played with my kids, and CJ while running around, knocked his head into the corner of the refrigerator. I didn’t even hear it happen, and he didn’t cry at all, my mom said. His bangs are long, so no one saw his forehead where it happened until right as my boss and her kids were leaving.
There was a HUGE goose egg on his head. It completely terrified me.
So I ran out into my driveway carrying him and chased down my boss. Not because I was upset with her kids or anything, but because her day job? A family doctor. She told me signs of a concussion and reassured me he was probably fine. Thank goodness.
But still… it looks really bad.

Our oldest feel when he was 4 and hit his head on the bed and had a HUGE goose egg. Being new parents, we freaked. Our doctor did the same thing, symptoms of a concussion and also said that the goose egg isn’t what you should worry about, the big problem is if it goes in instead of out.
Glad to hear he’s ok! Tough little guy!
My boss said that too - much better to go out than in. it was so scary though! Glad a doctor was around
It is much better today and he is no worse for wear. thank goodness.
