Well I had a hell of a week last week. My 12 year old son fell off his skateboard without a helmet. Fractured his skull, a vertabrae and had two brain bleeds. He was flown to a San Diego children's hospital where he spent 4 days in the ICU. The bleeds stopped without surgery. The vertabrae was only a compression crack. His speech is slurred and delayed a little so he needs some speech therapy but he's improving every day and the docs predict him to fully recover. It was definitely the hardest thing I've gone through in my life. The first 48 hours were just a waiting and praying game. Here's a CT of his skull from the top, face aiming down. He's lucky to be alive, but being a 12 year old boy he doesn't quite grasp that. His mother and I do though!
