Update - SS14 Injured

BettyRay's picture

The MRI results are in looks like a severely bruised shin-bone and a partially torn ACL. It's still very swollen so SS14 is on crutches and has to wear a metal frame splint till the first part of July. I guess we'll find out more then.

SS14 was/is devastated by the news. I think this is he first time he's not been able to do what he wanted to do for a summer; and the thing is he has no one else to blame as it was his accident on his bike that caused the injury.

I'm not judging SS14 at all, accidnets happen, but I hope this is an ah-ha moment for him. Understanding the limits of our bodies and realizing we're fragile is an important lesson for a child to learn.

SS13 hit his head when the chain broke on a bike he was riding. Ended up with a subdural hematoma that required emergency brain surgery and a week in PICU. All is well now, and the staples come out today. He'll be down for the count all summer, like your SS, tho.
