Hematoma

It turns out that Hunter has a pretty good sized hematoma on his forehead. It looks worse than it is, at least I think so. His doctor told us as long as it does not continue to increase in size then he should be fine and the hematoma should go away within a week. The bruising, once it completely shows up, can last a couple of weeks. If the area continues to get bigger then they want to do a cat scan to figure out where the bleeding is coming from. So far so good. The area has not gotten any bigger. This is a very good thing. We are just going to watch it for the next few days and apply warm compresses for as long as he will let us and go from there. I guess our little guy is a true little boy - bumps, bruises and all!
