**update post 17**
Sitting in the 2nd ER of the day with my 17 yr old. Took a bad fall off his dirt bike earlier today, messed up elbow and handlebar nailed him in the side/belly pretty good. I took him to local ER, lots of scans...said things appeared to be ok internally but wanted to monitor him in case any internal bleeding started, etc...which also meant transfer to a bigger hosptial.
Worst part was I had my mom with me this weekend and it was hard being in a hospital, since its where we lost dad 3 weeks ago (different hospital)
So anyway, he's doing ok, sore....just keeping an eye on him tonight. Waiting for them to take to his room, still in trauma. Super tired mama....and don't anticipate much sleep in the uncomfy chair...

Saying a prayer for your family. I have no idea if they have roll-a-way beds but it might be worth asking? Since he's 17 if you get lucky & he goes to pediatrics maybe there's a better chance of getting one? (I'm a sprawler so would literally end up on the floor if I only had a chair to sleep on -yuck!)

That's scary. I hope he's not too badly injured. At least they've let him eat now, it must have been torture for a 17yo boy not to be able to eat for 12 hours!!

I hope he rested easy and you did, too. Hopefully, his injuries are nothing too significant and he recovers quickly. It's hard seeing our kids hurting.

Being a parent is so much harder than most of us could ever have imagined, isn't it? Glad things seem ok now and I hope you got some sleep. My daughter has three little boys -- I see many sleepless nights in her future.

I hope you both had a good night, well as good as it could be. If they keep him today, ask if they have a recliner. Most hospitals do.

Ouch! Hopefully he will heal up fast and that you'll all be able to get some extra rest today. I really hate those midnight hospital runs.  I had to do that with my mom a couple of times and it's definitely no fun. |

Update: we are admitted as of about 3am. Scans are all clear for injury, just abdominal bruising and trauma. Should be able to go home later today. He slept a little. I got maybe 1-2 hours in a hard recliner. I think we will both play hooky and sleep tomorrow!
