He slipped in some water by the water fountain on the way to the bathroom and hit his head on a wall. He is ok except for a trip to the emergency room and 4 staples.
I don't think I could make a 20 minute drive in 5 minutes but I did it.

OH NO!!! I am so sorry. Last year, Andrew just HAD to have heelies. He fell on them at school and had to go to the ER. There wasn't anything wrong, but he managed to get them banned from the school. Hang in there, FYI!

It is scary getting that phone call. Thankfully he is okay and no major damage done.

Glad he's ok! I agree-watch out for concussion signs. Making a 20 minute drive in 5 minutes is something only a mom could do!

He is doing well. Thank you for your well wishes!
I am angry at the school. No apologies or anything. It was reccomended by the school nurse even that we take him to the ER for stiches. WTF! I gave them permission to take my son to the hospital in case of an emergency and I consider a 5" gash an emergency! *sigh* I will deal with them on Friday and hopefully the hospital bill will be ready by then.

FYI - I'm so sorry to hear of your son's accident - hope he's feeling better soon!
I understand your anger at the school - my daughter had a school bathroom stall door break off the hinges (from other kids swinging on it and weakening the hinges) and fall on her, gashing her ankle and nicking her Achilles tendon....they never even bothered to call me to let me know, and they didn't take her to the hospital. I came home to find my daughter laying on the couch after school with a bloody bandage on her leg. I was one mad momma!

Oh wow, i'd be angry too Sue! When my son was in 1st grade one night i was in the bathroom as he was taking a bath and he had bruises all over his body, i asked what happened and he proceeds to tell me a little boy at school beat him up! OMG! I was furious! NO ONE ever even called me. I went to school the next day and hte principal was very rude to both me and my son.... I pulled him outta school that day and we went straight to the police station and filed charges!
SIGHS,
Ang

Fyi- I'm so glad your son is ok!! I have made several hospital runs at the speed of light!!
I would go to the school and ask them what those emergency cards are for, and what exactly do they consider an emergency! What happens if they can't get the parents, do they wait until school is over and hope they don't bleed to death  This makes me angry- I dealt with this when my boys were younger- made many a trip to the principals office-I'm sure they were grateful when my boys got out of school!!..Karen

Still no apology from the school. No calls. Nothing. I am going to get in contact with our attny about all of the questions I need to be asking them when I talk to them.
