Tuesday afternoon the kids were playing on the trampoline and I was inside when I heard screaming...this is not unusual, so I wasn't really alarmed.
As I was going to see what happened, Noah brought Isaac inside and said, "Mom, Isaac's head is bleeding."
As soon as Isaac turned around I saw all the blood running from his head down the back of his neck...so did Grace and it really scared her. I think she really thought he was going to die and started to cry. I consoled her and told her that I was sure he was going to be ok (he wasn't even crying...until he saw the blood anyway.)
Noah was calm and cool and said, "Mom, let me help. This is what I'm trained for, they don't teach you about stuff like this in scouts for nothing." Of course I let him help, and he did a great job.
After we got the blood washed off and found the cut, it was pretty small. I know that head injuries are famous for bleeding a lot, but I was relieved that it wasn't serious.
Oh, and Isaac assured me that none of his brains came out :)
Isaac was tired of holding the cold pack on his head, so Noah came up with this...not sure why he didn't use one of the boy's scarves, but Isaac didn't seem to mind.
Maybe he thought it was the best match for Isaac's shirt.
I'm actually surprised that his shirt didn't have much blood on it. I guess it's because he was tilting his head down and most of the blood was pooling on his neck.
We're glad he's ok (we even still went to scouts that night)...and really glad that it wasn't another broken bone, or anything more serious.
