What accidents had already happened while you're baby sitting your child?

Last Tuesday night, I was baby sitting my 1 year old son. We were playing basketball, and while I was chasing the ball, he fell down and hit his head on a DVD player (I know it was sooo stupid on my part to play with a baby in an unsafe place). At first, when I was massaging his head, I thought it was just one of the "I-hit-my-head" pains. But when I smelled something, I looked at may hand that was massaging his head and saw blood! That's when I knew he got wounded! I was panicking,, crying and pleading to my husband to bring our son to the nearby hospital. Luckily, I have a sister-in-law who is a nurse, and she taught me what to do, and said if the wound is not deep, we can just cure it at home. Fortunately, the wound is not indeed deep. Now it's already healing. After that incident, I was really blaming myself for not being in my son's side, knowing that accidents could happen in a second or two. What really made me sad is that, I'm being blamed that same night, I was told that I'm not being a good mother, that I let accidents happen, that I shouldn't rely much on that kind of reasoning. Of course, I came to my defense, because an accident is the least I would want to happen, especially to my own child.
