And I’ve been awake since 3am. I’d planned on running after work yesterday, provided I could work it around grocery shopping and getting FD#1 walked; if not I would run today. Now none of that will be happening; things are on hold for a few days. I got a call from my children’s school yesterday saying they had CBoy (and MGirl) in the sick room. Things whir through you head all at once, like he must be feeling unwell, but why is his sister there also? Then the nurse said CBoy had been involved in a fight and I needed to come down to the school to collect him.
It took me about 20 minutes to get organised at work and get to the school; luckily I work 1km from the school!! When I got to school I found out the “fight” had been an assault with CBoy being jumped from behind in an unprovoked manner and throw to the ground to then have his head repeatedly belted into the concrete by a kid he hardly knew. We are still yet to find out why.
After many hours at the hospital, and filing reports and complaints with the police, we found out that the missing tooth (read “gap”) in CBoy’s mouth was not a missing tooth but the amount of distance that a double displaced fracture to the jaw can cause. Imagine a hole the size of a missing tooth, gum ripped apart (won’t go into more gory detail)...that is close to a 1cm fracture in my baby boys head!!! Now you know why I am not asleep.
I will head back into the hospital early this morning as he have to have surgery to put multiple plates in his head to screw his jaw back together!! The surgeon mentioned something about nerve damage, facial paralysis...I don’t think I’ve begun to get angry. Picture a mother lion (I’m a Leo) protecting her cub and you’ll get an idea!!
I think this sufficient excuse to be offline and off training for a few days while I get things sorted out!!! Grrrrr.......
