[QUOTE="donna723, post: 54492, member: 1883"] Please don't blame yourself over this! ALL kids who act like "kids" do things like this, especially boys. Ask any mother who has raised several sons how many trips they've made to the emergency room over the years and she will probably just roll her eyes and shake her head! All kids that age think they can fly - that's why so many of them jump off the garage roof or try to ride a bike with their feet on the handlebars! [img]:rolleyes:[/img] My son was never on medications, never really the reckless daredevil type, but he amassed an amazing number of injuries during his childhood (and still does at age 26!) When he was a kid he broke his leg, his wrist, his arm, and several fingers ... not all at once, thank God! He loosened his front teeth sliding into second base and was hit in the head with baseballs several times. And that was just elementary school ... and no, I'm not kidding! He played basketball in high school which meant crutches for the sprained ankles and X-Rays for the ribs that may or may not be broken! And more cuts, scrapes and bruises than we could ever count. And all this time, I was one of those super-protective mothers who never let him out of my sight! They're GONNA get hurt sometimes, just because they're a healthy, active "kid". [/QUOTE]
