Head Trauma Poster Boy

Bear has been asking if he could walk home alone from school for awhile now. Today was going to be the experiment day to see if he could get home by himself. Instead a phone call from the school informs me that he slipped and hit his head on a desk. I rush down to the school and find him in the nurse's office sitting with an ice pack on his right temple. They had taped it up but I ended up taking him to a medicentre just to be sure he didn't need stitches.

I was right he just got taped up with the liquid glue but.... the doctor asked if he fidgeted at night and if he was likely to pick off the bandage. I did not think he would but the doctor decided to wrap his head with a gauze so the bandage wouldn't rub off. So my son looks like he has had major head trauma but in reality is fine. Of course I still have to check on him throughout the night tonight. Oh joy! Lucky me! Oh and I have to make sure the bandage doesn't get wet for seven days. Yup that's right SEVEN days! Bath time is going to be so much fun. Oh and I think that means Raven you will not be able to dye his hair green after all.

I'm sorry to hear Bear got hurt hun. Unfortunately boys seem to be good at that. I think my brothers get a concussion at least once a year one way or another. Of course they're in construction, so that may be a factor. heheehe

Hope you're able to get a little sleep tonight dear. *HUGS*

By the by, so have you worn your socks out yet?
I love mine more each time I wear them. Hope you and Raven enjoy yours as much. :)

(sigh) Well, it doesn't really mean I can't dye Bear's hair... it just means I can't do it this week. Tell him maybe next week!

I hope you got some sleep last night, babe!

Pixie I am wearing them right now and they are very comfortable, stripey and piratey! Thank you once again for the socks!

Raven when I mentioned the hair dye to him he was kinda aghast at it. I am sure we can swing him around though!

Yay! Am glad to hear that! I love those socks and simply had to share the love with friends and family. And Raven said that those would be your colors. So I'm so glad that the socks I sent are in happy stripy sock loving homes. :)

And Raven thanks for sharing the sock love with Lady Myke. You Rock!

I agree with Pixiestitch re boys and getting hurt, by the time Connor was 3 he had had stitches 3 times! Sorry to hear Bear got hurt. I'm interested to hear how the experiment goes when it happens tho!
