Sorry! I thought I posted an update last night..huh.
We went to the Ped yesterday (that was fun, me alone with the two kids, I survived, but geez louise!) She looked at his nose and said his septum and anatomy looked fine, she didn't see any evidence of a head injury but suggested his may have hit himself in the nose?? He does swing his arms quite a bit and connection does occur. I just can't believe he hit himself hard enough to give himself a bloody nose. She said that since it is still a little dry around here it is possible that contributed. So I am going to start spraying saline into his nise every once and a while and pull the humidifier out again. (I just packed it up last weekend, blech. )
So in all he is o.k.!
___
O.k. I called and she called back pretty quickly. Which causes me to worry (usually it takes a couple of hours), along with the news that she would like me to bring him in tomorrow. I am just really worried about him, it hasn't happened again. She said that 8 weeks is too young to have a nose bleed so she wants to look at him.
Geez...now I get to spend all night worrying. Hopefully he is o.k.
At least she didn't tell me to go to the emergency room.
___
I got it to stop, but I am upset because I can't find anything about babies and bloody noses.
I just put DD down for her nap, I was gone from him for 5 minutes, during which DS woke up and started crying. He was crying pretty hard, but nothing unusual, he probably cried for 2 or 3 minutes at the most. Maybe he hit himself, should I call our Ped??
ETD: My usage of the word freak was bothering me.
