Traumatic experience: Eva Amurri Martino, pictured with husband Kyle, has revealed a night nurse dropped her baby son Major fracturing his skull
Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri Martino has revealed her baby son suffered a cracked skull after a night nurse dropped him just after Thanksgiving.
The mother-of-two also revealed she believes she is suffering from 'some form' of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of the horrific accident.
She revealed that her son Major James is now 'completely fine' and has been 'healing well' and 'hitting milestones at three months.
Eva, 31, who also has a daughter Marlowe Mae, two, made the candid admissions in an emotional blog post on her website on New Year's Day.
'A couple of days after Thanksgiving, our Night Nurse fell asleep while holding Major and dropped him, and he cracked his head on the hardwood floor,' she recalled on HappilyEvaAfter.com.
'Kyle and I were sleeping at the time and were awoken by the sound of his head hitting the floor, and then hysterical piercing screams.
'He suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on his brain, and was transported by ambulance to Yale Medical Center where I spent two harrowing days with him to receive emergency care and further testing. To say these were the most traumatic and anxious two days of my life is an understatement.'
Eva's three-month-old son was rushed to hospital and fortunately is making a full recovery, she said in a blog post Sunday. But she's so traumatized by what happened she's seeking therapy
'The guilt I bore in the days and weeks after this accident was more intense and more damaging than anything I would wish upon my worst enemy,' she stated.
'I wept in the hospital, telling anyone who would listen that it should have been me. That I was to blame.'
'And even though I finally made peace with the fact that this freak accident could not have been avoided by me, it has continued to effect me to my core and in all aspects of my daily life,' Eva added.
Eva, 31, whose mother is Susan Sarandon, also has a daughter Marlowe Mae, two, pictured with her baby brother. She says she no longer trusts anyone other than herself to care for her kids
Since the traumatic accident, Eva, an actress, has been suffering from nausea and dizzy spells as well as panic attacks and sleeplessness, as she details in her blog post.
She described how she majorly overreacted when the toddler daughter fell in the playground, sobbing and shaking in her husband's arms even though the tot was perfectly okay.
'It’s nearly impossible for me to trust anyone but myself to take care of Major now,' she wrote.
'Hearing Major cry hard immediately triggers my memories of the moments after the accident and instigates an immediate panic attack– my heart races and tears spring to my eyes.'
Eva no longer has a night nurse and is focused now on caring for her two children by herself.
