Anyone with a child at school dreads 'that' phonecall, asking you to come and pick your child up. Just as I sat down to catch up on some blogs, the phone rang from the school saying that Jack had fallen over and hit his eye on the corner of a table. Could I come along, have a look at it and if I felt it necessary, take him to the doctor's. Aaaghhh. Off I went, not knowing what to expect.......Poor thing, when I got there, he was half lying on a chair, pale as anything, with a sick bowl. His eye was gradually swelling, and apparently he had dropped off - eek. Even with my limited medical knowledge, you don't want them doing that.
I decided to trot to the doctor's to get an appointment. 3 hours later??!! we got in and the doctor told us there was quite a lot of bleeding underneath the eye and it might be worth a trip to the hospital. Me, being me had to establish on what basis, what did I need to look out for etc etc. The symptons to look for were those of a head injury. We've got some drops to prevent infection and he has to stay off school. Fortunately he seems OK at the moment, and I hope the swelling goes down.
This was all as a result of playing tag and as Jack got tagged he got 'accidentally pushed' - em......
What a drama though! His friend kindly did him a card - how sweet.

Ooh that sounds a bit yukky! Boys will be boys though! Hope he feels better soon :O) x
So sorry poor Jack..that sounded painful..and poor you,what a shock! I always dreaded having to make that phone call myself when I was running a nursery school,but however much you protect the children..accidents do happen.
That was a lovely thought from his friend to make the sweet card.Get better soon Jack!
Bellaboo :o)
Poor little boy! Hope he gets better soon! xxx
Oh bless him! Hope he recovers soon.
Oh poor little thing. And poor you. Hope all is better soon. xx
Hope your little boy is doing OK this morning.
Ouch, that sounds painful. Boys!
Oh dear! Been there, done that, and most recently, had to do it in French! (I learnt some good vocab on 'private parts' from one phonecall). But this does sound like a particularly nasty one and I do hope that Jack gets well soon. You poor things. Looking forward to some seed news when you're up to it!
Poor little guy, it's always so scary when they have injuries like that. I hope he heals quickly, what a sweet card.
Ouch! I do hope your little one is OK? Lovely card - he has a good friend
Oh crumbs, head injuries are so frightening and then the medical people make you worry even more.... Its always been danny's favourite place to damage... the front the back the sides... I swear they think I am an unfit mother at the medical center! but then he's look a little daft in a boxing head guard till he leaves home! lol
hope Jack feels better very soon,

I remember doing the exact same thing as a wee girl, ended up with a HUGE black eye......also had the *call* as a Mum on the one day I was out the house in ages and happened to be in my local M&S where there is limited mobile reception so the school thought I was dissing the phone and got a big fright when I saw all the missed calls....my eldest had been knocked into a wall and bumped his head...SCARY!
Hope your boy get's over it OK!
The card is too cute!

Oh poor Jack!
Black eyes are awful, my son has had 2 in the past year! I hope the eye drops do the trick and he feels better soon!
