My grandson got run over by a bike...had to have 3 stitches in his head.....  |
|
 Thank goodness that was all he needed..
He went to the van to get his sunglasses..I was putting library books in the van at the same time..The van was parked on the street in front of my house....
He jumped out first..and it happened all so quick......
A teenage boy riding his bike down the hill on the sidewalk collided with my 6 year old grandson and he got drug by the bike for a few feet....He was rolling beneath the pedal of the bike...The kid stopped right away...he said he was so sorry...
My grandson got up and I layed him down on the ground and checked his head for injury...It was bleeding...I put pressure on it and then got a rag from my son....I checked the rest of his head and body..just a few scraps.....
My husband was mad..and I told him to calm down...The teenager was visibly shaken...I told him it wasn't his fault..only that he should not have been riding that fast on the sidewalk...
My grandson was saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The older kid was telling him it was okay and that it wasn't his (grandsons) fault....
It was just a freak accident...The boy asked if he should leave his name and number and I told him no...but did ask for his name....I told him it was okay to leave..and not to worry...It wasn't his fault.....He said he was sorry again before he left....
It was so scary to see him tumbling under that bike....He could have broke his little neck....It happened so fast.....
He is doing good so far....

| 2. pitstop (2076) | 1 month ago |  I'm glad he is doing OK. Things could have been worse. I hope he recovers fast and has no bad memories. Did he see himself in a mirror after all the stitches? How did he react to that?

3.  GardenGerty (13403) | 1 month ago |  How very scary for all involved. Even your husband, and that is why he reacted by being mad. It was just a freak accident, and I bet your grandson will look before getting out again, and the teen will be careful riding on the sidewalk, or when approaching a parked car with people in it. They teach that in driver's ed, so he will have learned a valuable lesson early on. Glad you knew enough firstaid to help.

| Feona1962 (2809) | 1 month ago | Thank you Garden...
The reason my van was on the street outside my house was because the boys were going to ride in the driveway...but I am sure he will look now...and the boy that hit him will be more carefull too!
My husband was frightened just as I was...I just didn't want a confrontation in front of my grandson...but I did understand his anger....
I have EMT training so that helped....
Thank you again. | |

| 4. 4ofmyown (241) | 1 month ago |  Thank goodness he is okay. Situations like that are always scary, even worse when you actually see them happen...it is like they happen in slow motion. I am sorry you had go through all of that and I am glad to hear your Grandson is okay. Accidents will happen, it just stinks when they happen to the people we love.

| Feona1962 (2809) | 1 month ago | Hi 4...
Yes, it was like it was in slow motion...I had just seen the kid on the bike like not even a second before he hit my grandson....I turned around because I knew what was happening.....I saw panic in both of their faces...My grandson hopped up from the ground and was terrified.....
He is doing better today....Thank you.. | |

| 5. muscare (1152) | 1 month ago |  That must've been really scarey for both you and your grandson. I'm glad he is okYes, it was an accident, but that is one of my pet peeves, is kids, especially older ones, riding on the footpath. I see them riding past shop fronts, and know that is an old lady, or young kid steps out the door at the wrong time, there will be a mess.
It is good that the boy was very apologetic, and hopefully he has learnt from the scarey incident, and is much more careful in future.
Once again, I'm glad your grandson is ok.

| Feona1962 (2809) | 1 month ago | Hi muscare..
I could not believe what I had just seen...I was facing my van and just before he hit him is when I caught a glimpse of him....He was going so very fast.....
I do believe he is a good kid...He felt bad and did stay until I told him to go...I just wanted him to calm down first before he took off again.....
He should not have been on the sidewalk in the first place.....
My grandson is doing well now...Thank you...Hugs... | |

|
| muscare (1152) | 1 month ago | I agree, Feona he probably is a good kid, which means he probably learnt from his act, but as you say he shouldn't have been on the footpath. It could have been you as well, the speed he was obviously going, but unfortunately with kids, it takes something like this for it to sink in that they are doing what they shouldn't be.
Still, your granson is ok, and that is the main thing. And I bet you're still spoiling him....hugs! | |

|
| Feona1962 (2809) | 1 month ago | My husband was very angry at the kid....I told him to calm down because I didn't want a confrontation in front of my grandson..
He is doing alot better and of course I am spoiling him as always....We have been playing Star Wars Monopoly and he has been winning all the time....I am going to have to cheat to beat him....LOL.. | |

| 9. dlbruce85 (9) | 1 month ago | That is a frightening scenario, I am glad that he is ok. It's just another example of the fact that you never know what's going to happen. At least it didn't have traumatic results and it was only a bike and not a car. My best of wishes go to you and your grandson, and I hope for a speedy recovery! | |

|
| Feona1962 (2809) | 1 month ago | Hi dlbruce...
He is doing better today...He doesn't seem fearful about getting in or out of the van...He rode his bike alittle today...so that is a good sign...
Thank you.. | |

| 10. sunshinelady (5300) | 1 month ago |  Accidents happen so fast. I am glad that your grandson wasn't hurt any worse. It could have been a lot worse. Just by how sorry the teenage boy was shows that he was honestly just going to fast. That just proves that accidents can happen at any time and without a bit of warning. Hope your grandson feels better.

The boy did feel awful and I knew he was saddened by the whole event...I told him not to worry and to be more careful next time.....
Thank you.. | |
