My heart stopped today!!!!

It is amazing how things can change so drastically in a matter of seconds. Today was one of them. When I first got up things seemed to be normal. Kids fighting while I am trying to drink my coffee and wake up. But it wasn't long before my house was full of panic! My 4 year old son who is not potty trained had a bad accident today. I was standing in the kitchen when my daughter yelled out the my son had poopies. So I called him over to me and met him halfway in the dinning room. I asked him to turn around so I could check. Well sure enough he had pooped his pants. So I told him to go to the laundry room, which is wear I normally change him at. But before I could say anything he took off running and just as I was turning around, I saw my son hit his head on the corner of the kitchen counter and his legs go flying up in the air. He hit so hard it sent him flying in the air. I swear at that moment my heart stopped. He started screaming and I ran over to him as he had his face turned to the floor and I had to wrestle to get him to turn over and remove his hand from his head. As I pulled his hand away, I saw my worst fear. Blood was all over his hand and forehead. The whole time this happened my 10 year old stepson happened to be sitting at the table using the computer and saw the whole thing. I started to panic, but did manage to get a wet washcloth for his head. I then moved him to the living room saying to my self between tears "I don't know what to do". Now my kids have had accidents but never this severe. I was so thankful my stepson was here because he calmly said "mom call the doctor". So I did and between tears I managed to tell the nurse what had happend. She told me to bring him in and they would take a look at it. Once off the phone I managed to get my three kids and myself loaded up and the house locked. We got to the doctors office and they immediately took him back. The nurse looked at it and said he would be fine and the doctor would be right in. Well the doctor came in and examined him. To my relief all it was, was a severe cut that liquid stitches could fix. He had no head trauma, no concussion, and no internal injuries. The sad part tho is he will forever have a scar on his forehead. Not the best way to start out the week, but I am very thankful that my son will be fine. Needless to say the rest of the day he would not go near that corner!
