Gosh! I'm so sorry to hear that.. sounded painful!
Just want to add on to what the rest have mentioned, don't be too worry about your baby being a little wary and cautious for the moment. It's all part and parcel of learning and growing up. I'm sure if he had been adventurous, this incident will not drastically change his behaviour.
Also, bruising will be expected for the next couple of weeks (all part of the healing process) and if you notice anything unusual, just ring up your doctor for a peace of mind. Since he still able to sleep and get some rest, I would think it's alright.
In the meantime, give him more cuddles, kisses and assurance to help him recover and he will return a stronger and braver little man! :)
Take care of yourself too. *hugz*
