Sorry to hear you went through that and I can totally relate! A few years ago my daughter was accidently hit in the head with a metal baseball bat. Her best friend was swinging the bat around top speed and my child's head got in the way. It was horrifying!!!!!!!!!! We were all there and covered in blood, I have never seen so much blood.
To make matters worse I passed out and the doctors in th ER thought I was the patient.
We spent the night in the ER too. After a few thorough exams, some tests and MANY MANY stitches to put her head back together we were free to go! What a nightmare. I lost a few years of my life on that one and that was the very day my hair began turning gray! :-[
Funny thing is the father of the girl who hit my daughter is a big time attorney!
We must have recieved gifts until the statute of limitations ran out! We still kid that family about it to this day, we are still close friends.
