Back to the ER

Dear Connor,

Seriously?! Just three days after you had that traumatic fall at your birthday party, you had to go back to the emergency room today to be treated for *another* injury. I was about to pick you up from school this past Wednesday and was just a few blocks away when I received a call from your teacher. You had collided with another boy while running around on the playground. You seemed fine but you had a huge bump next to your right eye and your teacher thought we should have it checked out by a doctor right away. Seriously?! You got hurt again?!

Daddy came home from work and took you straight to the hospital (luckily, the fact that we'd just taken you to the ER a few days earlier didn't prompt them to call Child Services!). Fortunately, the doctor said you were all right. You had a pretty bad black eye but no scratches on the eyeball, permanent head damage or anything serious--unless you count the continual fraying of my nerves. *sigh*

Your new shiner. We should probably keep that helmet on you 24/7.

Love,
Mom
