After school fun with a big scare!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day that we decided to play on the playground at school. The kids were running, laughing, playing, and I was even getting some adult conversation in, when all of the sudden A. Solomon came over and yelled "Mitchell is hurt"! I looked up to see Mitchell bent over with his hands over his face. I ran over to him, he was crying, and he said "Mom take me to the Dr. I am really hurt"! This was an unusual statement for Mitchell to say, so I knew he was hurt. I asked him what happened, he said "I can't feel my neck or back, mom take me to the Dr.". He continued to tell me that he was so high that he tried to reach a tree limb and fell out of the swing face first and all of his body weight went down on his face and neck. I remained calm even though his face looked like he had been beaten bad. The thoughts going through my head, I was scared, yet calm! Mr. Leach was getting into his car at the time, he saw what was happening and said come into the nurses office. Mrs. Brown got some ice while Mr. Leach and Mr. Guthrie ask him questions and tried to calm him down. Mr. G and L said just to watch him for a while, Mrs. Brown said I would take him in, and that is what my gut feeling was to. I took him in to see Dr. Chandler immediately. Dr. C checked him out and said we need a c-scan, and ex- rays of his spine to make sure there was no broken bones or internal bleeding. Still I was calm, Mitchell was really scared, he was in pain! After all the films came back and we went back up to Dr. C's office he said everything looked good as far as bones and internal bleeding, but he has a concussion and he jammed his neck pretty good. Dr. C said no football or any other activities for a week. I was so relieved to know that it was nothing real major, to think how bad it could have been just scares me to death. When we got home Mitchell could not stop saying "mom just to think that if I had landed a little different, I could have broken my neck or back". I could not stop thinking of how grateful I was too. I told Mitchell that Heavenly Father was sure looking out for him. It hit me last night as I said my prayers and thanked Heavenly Father for watching over Mitchell, I cried tears of gratitude just thinking about what all could of happened, but did not happen. We were blessed!
