We spent the afternoon at the American Fork Hospital. I got a call about 2:20 this afternoon on Myles' cell phone, but it was a teacher. He started the call with "Myles has had a little incident...". So the first thing I think of is "Oh No, What has he done!?!?"
But it seems that Myles was standing to answer a question and when he went to sit back down someone thought they were funny and pulled his chair away. So he ended up falling back and hitting the back of his neck on the edge of the chair. He must have hit it really hard because he was pretty out of it for quite some time. The school was scared to move him, due to some signs there might be damage. So Brad raced over to the school and after looking at Myles and talking with the Vice Principal (who used to be an EMT) we made the call to have an ambulance transport him to the hospital. Better safe then sorry when dealing with the spinal cord and possible nerve damage! When the EMT's were taking Myles out on the back-board school was just letting out. He said it was embarrassing having everyone staring at him while he was strapped to that board (we finally found a time that Myles didn't want to be stared at, go figure!!).
I got to the hospital shortly after Myles and Brad got there. Myles had Dr. Leblanc and he was great. They did a CT Scan, but everything looked ok. So Myles is on Ibuprofen and ice packs. We are supposed to watch him for a few days, but we should be in the clear. Myles was sure to get a doctors note to get out of his Weights class for tomorrow :)
So that was our drama for the day! When we got home Heather and the girls dropped by for a few minutes. Brad jumped at the chance to do some coloring with Gracie (he just bought a new Sesame Street coloring book for when she comes over). Janie enjoyed playing in the dogs water and repeatedly saying Hi to the dogs :)

Wow, scary. I hope Myles gets feeling better soon and there's no permanent brain damage!!! heehee. Tell Myles that I passed out in the hall my sophomore year of high school....during the passing period (is that what they call the time between classes?). Very embarrassing. I've also been carried out of one of my jobs on a backboard when I passed out at work and everyone insisted that I hit my head on the way down....I still don't remember hitting my head, I guess that's why they call it passing out.
I'm so glad that Myles is okay. That dumb kid who pulled out his chair should be flogged. We love you Myles!
omg!!! super glade mr. myles is ok. give him our love and tell uncle D will hunt down that kid who pulled the chair out from under him!!!!! :) Could you imagine that kids face if he saw "uncle D" coming up to him!!!! that would be priceless!
