Dear Hunter,
At only 12 months old you have had 6 health scares with mummy and daddy.
You have fallen off the lounge at 3 months old when you had decided to start rolling over early. You bumped your head on the floor and we ended up in the hospital straight away. They reassured us, even though it’s a scary and worrying time, it’s one of the most common admissions into the hospital. We had to monitor you in hospital for 4 hours to make sure you didn’t vomit or get unusually sleepy. You had another fall off the bed as well a few months after, but you were ok with close monitoring.
You’ve been into the hospital for when you stood on a nail. Which luckily healed up nicely and didn’t get infected.
Just recently you had fevers in the night time, but there was no other symptoms that you showed until the next day when you got sleepy and didn’t want to walk much. You ended up having a tick on your back. Luckily we got that one off and you started to feel much better by the next day. tick season is here now that spring is here, so we have to be extra careful.
Once you were carrying around a soda water bottle without the lid on it and you had it in your mouth. You tripped and the rim of the bottle jammed up between your front two teeth and the roof of your mouth. There was lots of blood, but it seemed to heal up quickly and didn’t stop you eating and drinking thank goodness.
Not that long ago you managed to pull open the locked bathroom cupboard door with your strong muscles. You found the tea tree oil bottle which had a lid on it, but it was loose. It leaked a bit in your mouth when you tipped it up. Luckily enough it was only a drizzle. I phoned the poisons hotline and they said to monitor you closely for vomiting or pain, unusual behaviour, but they reassured me that if it was less then 5mls it’s very unlikely to cause any harm.
So you certainly keep us on our toes. I love you so much and want to keep you so safe. But you are an inquisitive little boy and I love watching you discover and learn. Please no more scares now bubba.
Your going to be an incredible human adult one day little munchkin. I love your sweet adventurous nature.
I love you so much.
Love Mum xoxo 😘
