Ouchies

Two pediatric emergencies in one week is two too many. The first one happened while Brennan and Garrison were playing basketball in the backyard. Brennan dislocated her pinky finger, resulting in a hugely swollen, purple, painful finger. She's wearing a splint for three weeks.

The second one happened during Garrison's basketball game after school Thursday. To hear him tell it, he 'set up for a charge and the boy knocked him over backward and then rolled over his head.' Thankfully, I had just sat down in the bleachers and didn't see the accident, but the man sitting behind me jokingly told me that Garrison's head dented the gym floor. He had to come out of the game for a while, but did go back in for the last quarter. When we got home he was in terrible pain and woozy, so we had to take him to the ER. He has a mild concussion. Despite the pain, I think he actually enjoyed his trip to the ER.

Yes, there is a Jr. Model UN. It's something that he did through his school and a local college. He represented China on Environmental Health. I had to push him a little to do it, but now he's glad he did. Thanks for your sweet comment! I've never been told I look like anyone else before, so now I'm curious.
