Jenny Mollen and her family have had "a traumatic week."

The actress best known for her role on the TV series, "Angel," revealed that she accidentally dropped and injured the 5-year-old son she shares with husband Jason Biggs.

"On Saturday evening, I dropped my son on his head causing him to fracture his skull and landing him in the ICU," Mollen wrote in the caption of a photo of her holding her son on her Instagram account. "I am forever grateful to Lenox hill downtown and @nyphospital for their immediate response and aid."

Mollen and Biggs have two boys: 5-year-old Sid and 1-year-old Lazlo. The couple obscures their children's faces when they post about them on social media.

It was Sid who was hurt, and Mollen offered a "Thank you to all of the nurses, neurologists, pediatricians, residents, cafeteria staff and brave women that keep the visitor's bathrooms clean."

She also thanked Biggs and offered a status report on their son.

"It has been a traumatic week but Sid is home now taking things slowly and recovering nicely," Mollen wrote. "He is also eating a lot of chocolate dipped ice cream cones and plans to try cherry dipped soon."
