A Sad Story....

So today was a scary day in the Compton household. I was on my way to work this morning when Gabe called and said that Deegan had fallen down the stairs. Apparently when I left for work I forgot to close the door to the stairs. Gabe normally double checks it but he forgot as well and Deegan rolled down the entire flight of stairs. In addition to that, we live in an old house and the stairs are extremely steep, wood, and there is concrete at the bottom. Needless to say it was not good. I ended up taking him to the Emergency room at Sacred Heart Hospital. This is the first time I have been in the hospital at Sacred Heart and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The care we received was awesome. Anyway, they ended up doing a cat scan and everything came back normal. He does have a very swollen and bruised nose so they want us to take him to a ear, nose, and throat specialist next week to make sure he didn't damage any cartilage. I am very glad that everything turned out fine, but it made me realize how truly fragile life can be. I feel like a horrible mother. I know that this stuff happens, but these children depend on us to protect them. Unfortunately I failed today. Oh well, the good thing is that Deegan is fine and I will be able to learn from this experience. Here are some pictures of my poor little baby.
