Twins hit head?

Question

My 3 year old twin boys were playing on the floor and knocked their heads together. One hit the other with the forehead into the other ones back of the head. They cried for about 2 mins and now are acting fine. I did hear the heads hit and I am just worried. I am calling the call a nurse at the hospital and I am still on hold (45mins). I can take them in but I have two other children here (babysitting) and their parents did not leave their carseats. Should I call 911, or do you think they are ok. I don't feel any knots or anything.

I asked them if their heads hurt and all I keep getting is "my head is like a power ranger, i have big muscles"

Sorry I'm a worried mom!

Thanks so much guys...I just got of the phone with the nurse and she explained the stages of a concussion. I still worry and will keep them awake for a couple hours and watch them closely.

Answer 1

I think you did what any parent would do...calling the nurse was smart and I hope their ok.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Stay on the phone and try to talk to a nurse. Pay close attention to the boys, and see if you notice any changes. Try not to let them go to sleep for a few hours, just in case.

If they seem ok after a few hours, and aren't feeling dizzy or having any abnormal symptoms, then they are probably just fine. I think if they had concussions or anything they would already be feeling a little dizzy or disoriented.

If you are REALLY worried, then go to the hospital.

Good luck and god bless.

Answer 3

As long as they don't go to sleep, don't pass out and don't start to vomit they are fine. You are not suppose to let them go to sleep atleast two hours after an head injury (I think). I just know they aren't suppose to be allowed to go to sleep.

If they seem okay and you don't see blood or a bad discoloration, I wouldn't worry too much. Continue to hold for the nurse, just to be on the safe side. If it were that bad, you would have dialed 911 instead of the nurse and you would not still be on hold. Just keep a close eye on them and if you are still worried, take them to the doctor.

God Bless and Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

I have twin boys and they banged their heads together and I had the same reaction as you. One time a nurse told me that it is only a concussion if they lose consciousness. I have two older boys too. But back to the twins...those two have wrestled their way through life all of their life, they are like a pair of pups that roll in a wrestling little ball everywhere they go...I used to worry about them more than I do now.

Answer 5

I'm sure they are OK...Kids hit there heads all the time..I'm a mother of twins as well...I know..Just make sure they dont go to sleep for a little while in case they have a bit of concussion.

Answer 6

Their little heads are harder than you think! I'm an identical twin with identical twin brothers. We have been banging heads all of our lives. LOL! Good of you to be worried and call the nurse. Kudos Mum.

i replace into employing to the well-being middle I artwork at and the radio announcer gave information of the 1st airplane hitting the tower, and that i remember thinking it replace right into a terrible aviation mishap. as quickly as I walked into the main lobby of the well-being middle, it replace into thoroughly empty...and from down the corridor, i could desire to pay attention people crying. thinking that there replace right into a 'crimson alert' in progression (a well-being middle disaster code denoting assorted fatalities and chaos) I ran to the radiology branch the place I labored...and it too replace into empty, and that i could desire to nonetheless pay attention crying, so I accompanied the sounds of sobs to the reception section the place everybody replace into huddled around the television set and that's as quickly as I observed the movies of the 2d airplane hitting, and the newscaster saying that a 0.33 airplane had hit the pentagon, and a fourth had long previous down in a container in Pennsylvania. Having honestly no theory merely how a techniques attaining this attack replace into going to be, i will certainly say that i haven't been so scared in all my existence...or as unhappy. as long as you're Up: even nonetheless i'm no longer the guy who gave you the TD...your 20/20 hindsight and Monday morning quarterbacking is carefully unimpressive...i'm merely sayin...

Answer 8

There is nothing to worry about....now if the started slurring words or getting really really sleepy then you would need to worry. But based on that response they seem fine :)

Answer 9

They are probably fine. A small child's skull is alot more flexible than an adults. It reminds me of my grandfather and when us kids would do something like that...He would make a (pretend) fuss about one of us loosing some of our "smarts" to the other child...He loved to BS us kids.
