Where did the summer go? I promise to send more updates regarding baseball and our summer, but I had to get this one on here first.
I can't believe some of you did not know about Jack's bike accident in mid July. He was coming home from the baseball fields, about 8:00 at night and somehow ended up sliding down a hill on his right side with his bike on top of him. He has no idea even how it happened. We visited the site later and other than his blood on the sidewalk, we could not see anything obvious that caused him to fall. It was unbelievable.
He picked himself up and rode his broken bike with a bent wheel and messed up gears the 400 yards or so back to our house. Thankfully, Mike had the stomach to really take a look at his injuries. His right elbow was a mess of blood and skin and we think even some bone. There was some white stuff sticking out that I could not even really look at. Mike took him to the hospital and he ended up with 8 stitches!
After the stitches came out - thanks Uncle John - there was still a HUGE crater of puss and gore on his elbow but it has healed now. The elbow is a scarred mess, but the area where the stitches are is beautiful!
Here are some pics to keep you interested!!
Here are Jack's stitches - taken from Mike's cell phone at the hospital - as they were bandaged up for a time afterwards!
Here is a look at the knee...
More injuries - note the bruise on his left thigh from the bike landing on him!
