You can't protect them from everything


Liam is very sad and sore right now.
He had an accident on his bike.

The Damage:
  • 1 broken nose
  • 3 very wobbly teeth, 2 of which are adult ones
  • lots of cuts and ahole that goes all the way through his top lip, currently being held together by tape.
  • abrasions to hands and face
  • Lots of pain
He'll be having a few days off school. There will be no Futsal for 3 weeks at least. He'll also not be allowed to run around and play sports to protect his nose from further damage. He has to eat soft foods only as the teeth are very insecure. Hopefully there is no nerve damage to the teeth and he'll get to keep them.
We have to go back to the doctors on Friday to check on the nose.

Holding your child's hand while he is in pain is one of the hardest things a mother must ever do. You really can't protect them from everything.

It is hard to hold your child's hand when they are hurting.

Many prayers for Liam and for a fast recovery.

How did you do that? How do you feel now? Hope you feel better soon Liam. Sounds like your bike is no good.
Miss you from Joshua-Ngoc.

Oh no! The poor lad, I hope he gets lots of attention and care from his siblings and recovers quickly.

oh, poor little man! This made my eyes water, he looks so sore and sorry. I hope he is healing well. Not sure how I would cope if this happened to one of mine...if only we could take their pain.
