A bit of an old post from 19 March
Just as hubby was leaving to collect the boys from school we received a call from an unknown caller. I only answered it in hope it was from the Virgin complaints team who I’ve been trying to get hold of. Turns out it was the matron at school letting us know Bean was with her having cut his head open. She was quick to say he was okay, but there was a lot of blood so to bring a jumper- both as his shirt was covered in blood and something warm would help as he was in a bit of shock.
An hour and later I had a message confirming all my boys were booked in at A&E watching Kung Fu Panda whilst waiting for the doctor.
Bean had been racing cars in the floor in the performance hall, had slipped and banged the top of his head against a bench. Splitting the skin. Lockdown hair meant it was just a mess of bloody, matted hair. But the doctor managed to clean it up, glue the cut back together and by 6pm everyone was back home, shattered but smiling.
Bug had been in art class at the time of the accident when
his teacher told him he had to pack up his things and head to matron as his
brother had had an accident. I could fully empathize with shock and worry he
felt and had a really warm glow learning that when Hubby turned up, the boys
had been sitting on the bed together with Bug reading a magazine to the
patient.
I’d honestly thought we’d might make it a few years before returning to A&E, turns out we couldn’t make 12months. 🙄😬 Hubby was impressed that, when checking in, they quickly found all of Bean’s details. I was less impressed that they’ve got us pinned as regular visitors!
Thank you letters will be going into school tomorrow - to Matron for keeping cheerful when faced with a bleeding head at the very end if the week, and for providing a stack of magazines for the boys to take with them. And to Bean’s teacher who was in constant contact through Friday evening to make sure was okay.
Extra hugs also go to the Hubby who is fast taking the role
of super dad.
If the rest of the weekend is anything to go by, Bean will be spending the coming days touching his head and making everyone near him take a look at the cut on his head. Having managed 4.2k on his bike yesterday and a 6k walk today, I think we can safely say it hasn’t caused any lasting damage.
All's well that ends well!! XX
