Mishap on Oct 2nd

My 7 months old son(Shawn),has now started crawling and exploring things around him...Its really impossible to leave him alone nowadays.Yesterday,we had our lunch and my husband went out for a haircut.My bro,who had come for some of his personal work also started his way out.I was with Shawn,playing with him on the bed.I got a call and just went to pick my cellphone on the other room,putting my son towards the inner side of the bed near to the wall.Just a fraction of a second and i heard a boom.I rushed in to see my son,lying on the floor,with tears on his eyes.I quickly picked him up,shook him,applied some water and gave a gentle massage...He stopped crying after almost 10-15 mins.My hubby and bro were in now.We wanted to take him to the hospital to have a checkup..But unfortuately,no docs were available as it was Oct 2nd,a holiday..Then we took him to Sagar Emergency Ward and the doc did simple tests - dilation of eyes,responsiveness and probably checked his bones by touch.She said that he was doing well and there was nothing to worry.All was fine, but it made me realize how fast disasters can happen,and i still couldn't stop blaming myself for this mishap.It's these little things that keep us parents on our toes!!!!!!
