Goose Egg

I was working at the farm last Friday when I received a call from my good friend Tara. It's not a good sign when the first thing she says is, "did the school call you today?" Followed by, "Well don't freak out when you see Dawson's head."
Turns out Dawson was in P.E. when he and another kid collided. Dawson fell and bashed his forehead on the floor. OUCH!
Tara said the bump was huge when she picked him up from school for me. It had a purple ring around the bump. According to Tara the bump was about the size of a golf ball. When I picked him up later that after noon it was about the size of a quarter.
He said it only hurt when he touched it. He played fine and was alert. That's what mattered to me.

I'm happy to say he's feeling much better today.

Looks like it hurt. Takes me back to my school nurse days. Ice packs and neuro checks.

Can you believe the school didn't call me.
