My 23 m old son fell of my 4 foot bed and hit directly on head. he has a mushy spot on the back of his head! it's been 4 days just noticed. is he ok?

Hopefully: You should take him in tomorrow to have it seen by the doctor. Sometimes the mushy spot can be from a skull fracture. If so, it would need to be followed until it heals. The more dangerous things would have shown up before now and he is past that risk.
