Colton Gets Hurt

Let me set the scene for you...I'm working (thank goodness at their school) and I get called to the nurse's office. I call thinking it is in regards to one of the students I had sent up earlier. She tells me "I need you to come to the office." I tell her that I'm with a class. She then says "I need you come to the office...it is about Colton." I tell the PE aide I need to go to the office, I'll be back.

As I'm walking to the office a little girl yells to me "Mrs. Tow, Mrs. Tow Colton got hurt and he's being taken away in an ambulance!" You can only imagine what I'm thinking, so I start running to the office. I get there and there is this swarm of people gathered in front of the nurses office...now I'm freaking out...What the heck is going on? Then I see the nurses, one is holding Colton's head. I push through the crowd and get to him. The nurse sees me and tells Colton I was there, you can see he got a little relieved from that. I get there and hold him asking him if he's ok. He starts to say he is feeling sick and wanting to throw-up and is dizzy. Now we are concerned. Later he started slurring his words a little but then that cleared up. I get my class taken care of, one of the teachers took my class and just combined it with hers. I gathered his stuff and pulled Sydney out of class.

So are you wondering what happened...basically what happened was during lunch recess a classmates front teeth plowed into Colton's forehead. There was blood everywhere. I talked to the nurse this morning and she said his face was just covered in blood. They wanted to get that cleaned up by the time I got there just so I wouldn't freak-out. She said it was pretty bad. The custodian had to clean up some blood that got on the blacktop.

I took him to the doctor, he flushed it out and said that in the center it was pretty deep, but he recommends doing the glue instead of stitches. No concusion, just headaches. He went to school today. He never once complained. Even the nurse made a comment about that...how strong and brave he was, even at the doctors office. My poor baby, I'm so glad he is just fine.
