My dear Seth is a bit of a dare devil, extreme stunts kind of a kid. While swimming at the Draper Pool, he successfully completed 5-6 back flips off of the edge of the pool, without being reprimanded by a lifeguard. He wasn't so successful on his final attempt, thus I received a panicked phone call from his brother, tell me that Seth's head was bleeding and I probably should hurry up and come back to the pool. A few minutes later, while in route to the pool, I received another phone call from the pool manager, updating me about the situation, asking if they had permission to transport him via ambulance, if necessary.I arrived at the pool, to see an ambulance and paramedic in front. (Not good for a mother!!) I rushed to find him, he was surrounded by paramedics. The first thing I saw was blood dripping from his ear. I panicked. The paramedics then reassured me that the blood was from the head wound, not coming out his ears. Whew!
I transported him to the ER in Draper (which we love) and he received 6 staples in his head. Not a great way to start the summer :(
