The Latest Injury Report

Friday afternoon I got a frantic call from Kim. The mother of a friend of Xavier's called. He crashed his bike on the way to their house and she was bringing a bloody boy in the car and then to the doctor. She picked up Kim and off the ran to the doctor. The doctor examined Xavier and was concerned that he injured something on the inside with how deep the would was. After what Kim described as both a painful and painful to watch examination, the doc stitched him up and sent him home.

Xavier and a buddy were riding their bikes down to another friends house. This friend lives pretty much at the bottom of our mountain and Xavier had too much speed going to make the turn. He slammed into the curb and somehow crashed taking the full impact on his neck into his handlebars. Isaac, the friend he was with, rode up and asked the gasping Xavier "Are you almost dead?!?", it translates something like that anyway.

His voice was shot the first day. It wasn't until Sunday that he had anything other than liquid to drink. Monday he missed school but at least ate solids. He is still puffy and his voice gives out if he talks too much, but he is recovering. It was a freak result to the crash and luckily wasn't any worse than it turned out.
