For you Mothers of older boys you will understand, for those of younger boys your turn in coming! Quarterback was on his way to our neighborhood park on his roller blades when he met the pavement. Coach & cheerleader were already there and brought him home. One look & Coach knew it was a hospital visit injury. He has a cut requiring 5 stitches above his lift eye along with a abrasion the size of a 50cent piece above it. His entire left shoulder has no skin, 2 knuckles on the left hand are missing skin and his entire left knee and much of his shin are the same. He is one giant road rash!!!! He was pretty upset but it was not about himself, he was upset that he was going to miss an confirmation interview with our church choir director. He did not want to disappoint our Pastor on his assignment.
When he came home from the ER, he went next door to show off the "War wounds" to his friends! He did not show his Mother first! He was excited about showing all the kids at school the scars. I did write a note to excuse him from P.E. for a day or two.
This was not his first big injury and I am sure it will not be his last, but it still makes my heart jump to see my handsome son scaring up his face!

OUCH!! By the smile on his face though, he's either feeling kinda cool, or feeling some meds...either way, he's got scar stories!! I bet that was scary for you, but I'm glad he's doing ok.
Ouch!
