My baby boy got hit by a car while riding his bike thru a crosswalk today. We think he will be okay, but Ambulance to hospital and will be here for at least a day or two. Poor baby is really beat up & bloody.
It’s my worst nightmare. Please pray/send good wishes.

I’m shaking looking at this. Thank god all those times I’ve been a nag, including today. Thank god.
He is my everything. We are out of trauma now and in a regular room but I can’t keep my eyes off him to make sure he’s breathing. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I haven’t even begun to process the trauma - and the trauma of my other son from witnessing it.
He came to this morning & after worrying his face would be “ugly” (I assured him he’s beautiful & will heal), he then worried that he’d “be dumb bc of the concussion” & started rattling off equations “to make sure.”
Still a ton of pain but knowing he’s “back” is such a relief.

His pelvis is broken. Praying for no surgery. But we will be here for longer than expected.
I know it’s been said endlessly with covid but I am so damn grateful for nurses. One just asked called me asked if *i* needed anything and called me “baby” in that gentle southern way and now I am bawling...
Also the people who greet parents in the trauma ward and explain everything and reassure you...they are angels. I know there’s a long road ahead but I just am so thankful for everyone who’s helped him and us.
At least one more day in the hospital but NO SURGERY!!! Now figuring out how to use a wheelchair & walker for the next while.
Thank you all for your kind messages, thoughts, and prayers. I can’t respond to everything but I plan to read them all to him over the coming days.
