(114) Woes.
Hey, guys. Wish I could say it's been a good birthday, but still the curse strikes yet again. But this isn't about me.
My brother managed to fall off his bike yesterday evening and fractured his skull. The kid's doing okay - there's been two scans done, and hopefully tomorrow's will be conclusive that the fracture isn't threatening and there's no bruising or bleeding. If it's all fine, we'll be able to take him home.
Good news: he's mostly fine. It could have been a lot worse. People who were driving along the road saw him fall and drove him back to our house. People are nice.
Bad news: he's a hockey player, and he can't do contact sports until the end of the summer. Which means all the camps we have set up for him are now moot. Figures that he's fine with people smashing pucks at his face, but he breaks his head falling off a bike. Also, his ~handsome features~ are now all banged up. Um, woe?
Kids will always be kids, I guess. Hopefully he'll be up and running in no time.
P.S. Ever seen that gif of Emma from Glee sitting in her car and sobbing? That was pretty much me after I dropped my dad off at the hospital. SNIIFFFF-honk-honk-honk-sob.
