In the pediatric ER
You refuse to entertain
the possibility
that you are small,
that the ladder is too high,
the scooter too fast,
that you are not as big
as your big brother.
That there are things
you cannot do.
So here we sit,
waiting,
for x-rays to clear.

Oh no! Hope everything’s OK now and that whatever it is heals quickly!
Betsy – he fell on his head and the swelling was so big and so fast that I just had to check it out. He actually got an x-ray to rule out a skull fracture, which is about the scariest thing I need to hear for the rest of this year. He got the all clear and should be fine.
So glad he’s okay. I hate head injuries (not that I can imagine anyone who actually likes them).
