Round 1: Bicycle 1, Michael 0






Michael participates in the local playground summer program. Which is just down the hill from where we live. We live on a pretty steep hill. This year we decided Mike was old enough to ride his bike down the hill by himself. This morning we get a call from the park program saying that Mike was in an accident and he was being taken to the hospital. Which right beside the park. Thank Goodness.
He was going to fast and lost control of the bike and went over the handle bars. He crashed right beside where an ambulance was parked. Again Praise God.
So I jumped in the car and ran down to the hospital.Thank God nothing was broken. Just sever road rash. I mean severe.
I think there will be no more riding to the park this summer.
After we got home someone from the hospital called and said that they heard Mike was in a bike accident and he didn't have a helmet. I guess they have a program that provide free helmets and they wanted to give Mike a new bike helmet. So back to the Er we went for a bike helmet. So now we are back home to stay for awhile. Mike is watching a movie and resting. Hopefully this will be last of the excitement for the summer.
