BROKEN NOSE


Jackson can stand up next to furniture but has a hard time getting down. He pulled the piano bench down on top pf him and it landed only on his nose. Instantly I heard the most terrifying cry ever, and blood rushed out his nose like a faucet. He was also having hard time breathing because he was choking on all the blood that was also running down his throat.

The bleeding stopped and the crying eventually stopped but for the rest of the night his nose swelled bigger and bigger and he was not able to breath out of it. He did not sleep or eat anything the rest of that day and most of the next day. He was happy when awake (because of meds) but snorted and gasped whenever he tried to sleep because he could not breath through his nose. I had to hold his mouth open for 10 minute spurts of shut eye.

I went to the doctor and after a 2 minute exam he sent me to another hospital to see a specialist within the hour. Turned out he did not break it, but it looks horrible. Md said nothing that a little Afrin spray, suctioning and time cannot fix.
