I wish someone had reminded me that bad things happen in THREES! Our oldest son's injury was #1 (you can read about it at www.brickeys.net, newsletters, November), but his dad and brother were soon to follow with #2 and #3. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend visiting family, but came home to absolute chaos. On November 29th, a Wednesday night, we were at church and Justin got a concussion while playing football with the high school guys. We went to the ER and he was okay, but his memory was pretty rattled. The next day his memory was coming back, but short term stuff was a little fuzzy. Being forgetful, he left a steak knife out on the table, and our three year-old son got ahold of it and managed to stab his hand. We went to urgent care, but he didn't need any stitches. It was a pretty deep puncture wound, so we had to watch it for infection, but that was it. Praise God! Justin has recovered well, and is now back to normal. Our youngest son's cut is now just a faint line on his hand. And our oldest son (the one who hit his head on a rock while camping) is long recovered.
My New Mantra: I'm going to wrap them all up in bubble wrap and helmets.
