Stairs Vs Head

Stairs vs head


Boys, boys, boys. Today Colin was running up the sidewalk to the house and tripped right before he got to the stairs. He went flying, face first, into the stairs and took the corner of a stair right to the forehead/eye. I was working but Shelby was home with Colin when it happened. He said it was ugly so off to the ER they went. At the ER they were turned around because the hospital was being evacuated for a bomb threat. That is the only military hospital in the area so when that was a bust Shelby had to try to call the insurance to get authorization to go to the German Krankenhaus (hospital). With busy phone lines and no one answering it was faster for him to just drive to the insurance office and get the authorization in person. Once he had the papers he was off to the German hospital to try to get the poor kid examined. The docs gave him the ok after their exam and thankfully he appears to be ok. He has been very wobbly and off balance here and there, we are thinking he may have a small concussion as dizzy spells are a symptom. Shelby is off Thursday & Friday so we'll keep a good eye on him. He woke up from his nap a little more bruised and swollen than he was in the pictures in the album. He's gonna be black and blue for a week or two from this one :(

  1. Oh my poor baby ! Did he trip on that mat ? Thank God, he could have really hurt himself on those steps. I think he needs a trip to Grandma's to recooperate ! (I think for the summer might do it )
