It seems like there must be more to this story. Of course, an injury like this will alert the authorities to possible child abuse, which, since you didn't seek medical care immediately, may bring child welfare to ask you alot of questions about the incident. Either you are very inexperienced as a parent or you must be hiding something. This just doesn't add up in my book.
Stuff happens! My son was walking, unknown to me, at 10 months, and pulled a glass stocking holder on his head. It had to be glued back together. He fell out of chairs, and off tables, but if he didn't act hurt I didn't take him to the doctor. That being said she had to be hospitalized for 3 days, so clearly something was going on. Is it possible the injury wasn't from the injury 3 days prior? Is she in day care? Is there any chance something in addition to the prior fall happened? If the doctor feels the fall doesn't explain the injury maybe you should be looking at what else could have caused it.
Nice. Another unsupervised child. Judas Freaking Priest.
I moved them after that. The house was baby proof or so I thought, but I really didn't think he could reach it. Point being sometimes stuff happens. It's how you react afterwards that's important. I took him to the ER, and there was no issue. Clearly the doctors weren't worried because CPS was never called. Sometimes an accident is really just an accident.
Why didn't you take him with you? I suggest a bit more babyproofing for your home.
Why would I, and you know what I didn't the next time I went either. I just made sure the stocking holders were out of reach. He's 10 now, and he is a wonderful boy who makes the honor roll and has perfect attendance. Parents these days are seriously overprotective. There is no need to have your child in your line of sight all day inside the house. Outside is a different story.

Please, hang out in the Peds ER and then come back and say that.
