Today at my sons school

Glad to hear he is okay....I was in an ATV accident several years ago, and got staples in my head....no fun...but kids are tough!

Holy cow...glad he is okay & glad you didn't get a ticket!! Way to go!!

OH wow FYI!! Make sure to keep a close eye on him this evening. He could have a concussion.
I'm sure u were a nervous wreck!
:(

Ouch! Sorry to hear about his fall. I am glad that he is ok!

FYI..know that was scary. I am happy it all turned out ok..and he'll even have a scar to be proud of.

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!

wow, sorry to hear that FYI, is he ok now?

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!

I'm glad he is ok. Poor guy! What a tough break! He's lucky to have you as a mom. :-)

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,

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 :shock: 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.

FYI, You go getem. That is just pliain WRONG.

FYI...I have worked at four different schools for over 17 years. I have never seen an accident by a child or adult that wasn't taken care of immediately. The students are what we are here for and if one has an accident and is seriouly injured (as was your son) the paramedics are called and so are the parents. As someone stated earlier that is why the medical emergency information is kept on file. If you don't get the answer you want from the principal of the school I would go the the school superintendent's office. I sure he will listen..

Oh FYI I am so sorry to hear that. But you know I have often wondered about that. Now I have my kids call me on my cell phone if something happens at school.

My daughter broke her ankle at school one day and the school was trying to get ahold of me and they called and called work but no one would give me the message. They tried calling at noon and I didn't get the message till after 3 so one of the teachers gave her a ride home. I just screamed at my supervisor, I was was soooo mad. Then I asked why they didn't call her grandmother and they said because it was a long distance number :shock: So the poor girl had to sit for over 3 hours with a broken ankle before I could get to her. :evil:

FYI I am sorry this happened and yea Dayum I would be spit fire mad about this. I am so happy we have not had any incidents yet as moma's bail money would probably be high after she finished with everyone there. :lol:

:lol: at Cajun!1 That's what my husband used to say about me when our sons were in school! I even went to the principal when son was in high school and told him I would pull him across the desk if he refused to let my son have his inhaler, and that I was friends with the Judge, and several attorneys, and we would pay him a call--my son was mortified that I did that :lol: Karen

Let's just say all the teachers for all three schools know her well. :lol: She keeps a close eye on our three when I am at work and believe it or not I am the nice one if you wanna resolve something involving our family. :shock: :lol:

:lol: I know- hubby is the nice one here!! You can messs with me- but don't even think about messing with my boys!!

All the people at the schools knew me by my first name!

I eventually went to substite teach- they really love that one! I was in the office even more :lol:

Yep they hired my wife subbing too. She still has about three different schools she rotates around. I guess they figured if she is busy,it will get her out of their hair! :lol:

Ya know funny thing after my son had his incident in 1st grade the principal loved me! I was able to pick his teacher every year after that that he was in that school! ha ha Guess getting the police involved helped me!
:D

I figure they though the same about me-keep me busy and away from them!!..KAren

I am going to call the attorney tomorrow before I go to the school since I only work 1/2 a day. The only thing I want from them is to pay for the bill and place mats or caution signes near the water fountains. Very reasonable I think.
