Dexter was climbing up the slide - there is a reason why we shouldn't be doing that - and slipped. That resulted him hitting his forehand really hard. He screamed terribly loud, a scream I haven't heard in a while.
Once he finally calmed down he looked at me in a very strange way, as if he doesn't know who i am. He would pull away if I tried to cuddle him and couldn't utter a word.
To make a long story short, we called the ambulance as this was not normal behaviour.
Thank God they came immediately and rushed to hospital. At that point we didn't know whether the speech part of his brain was affected or it was the shock.
While in the ambulance he was crying and trying to say Oskar like a baby would speak. Oskar rushed to his side to calm him down. My heart melted.
After a long examination in the ER Dexter started to slowly talk. He didn't remember much at the time but his memory slowly returned.
The night was long and we hardly slept as the nurse would come in every hour to check his pupils.
I hope we get to go home today...
Parents around the world. If you see a funny behaviour in your kid once he/she has hit their head better to consult a doctor immediately! Just to be on the safe side.
Love you Dexie mou. You have been so brave. 🥰🙏
