The angle at which he fell is what's causing the confusion as to where the bruise came from. He was on his back with his left side closest to the floor, and from what I recall he hit the top of his head, came down onto the floor, and ended up facing about the same direction he was when he was lying down, meaning his right shoulder shouldn't have made contact. We simply don't have an answer for why it's there and that's what's causing them distress.

I know this ultimately isn't as big a deal as I'm making it out in my head but I just feel embarrassed and ashamed. It'll take some time to get over it. Thank you.

I care very deeply about this kid. I would've understood and moved on if the parents decided to drop me as their nurse; I would've never been able to live with myself if something serious had happened.

Maybe I'm reading into it too much. If they truly didn't trust me then they would've dropped me as their nurse. It's just gonna take some time to get past this I guess.

Yeah I know the parents' reaction is understandable. They're very protective of him and rightfully so; they have cameras in the house because of the horror stories they've heard of home nurses, including a friend of theirs whose kid was abused pretty badly by one. tbh I wish a camera had been on me at the time so that this situation would've been completely clear.

I just can't get over that the dad asked me if the kid had rolled knowing full well the kid can't roll. That's what gets me. It seemed like a disingenuous question.

Thank you, I'm trying to approach this rationally and constructively but I'm so fucking anxious about it.
