If one had asked my son or I how either of us wanted to spend this evening, being in the emergency department was certainly not on that list. Apparently he had a nasty accident while driving home from work. All he remembers is coming to, here in the hospital. He's drifting in & out, has an obvious knot on his noggin, and it looks like the seatbelt nearly broke the skin on his neck. Only thing we know for sure is that he does have a wrist fracture. For now, we wait.

Thanks, everyone. So... Thoracic compression fractures. Ffs. He might be staying overnight since there's not a licensed PT on call rn to fit his brace. Honestly, kiddo staying overnight might not be a bad thing, y'know, just in case.

@fugitive247 I’m so sorry. Staying overnight is frustrating but having that safety net just in case some other injury makes itself known is nice

@fugitive247

Woah, that sounds serious. It concerns me that he’s drifting in & out. Will they scan his noggin?

@fugitive247

✨Light on the path ahead for your son’s healing journey.✨ I’m glad he’s safe.

@ATXJane

He's being kept overnight for observation. Yes, a possible concussion is a concern. He was quite lucid when the nurses checked his stats and physical reflexes. Laughing hurt, though. Doesn't matter how old he or 15 get, in my heart they'll always be my youngins.
