I picked my DS up from school today and he seemed upset. I ask him what is wrong and he said he was hit in the head with a paddle ball paddle and it split his skin open. He had a bandaid on, so I asked him to take it off so I could see it, and he had a gash that was about 1/8-1/4" long and looked pretty deep and open. I put a call into his doctor's office to see if I could bring him in to be seen and headed that way. I still hadn't heard back by the time I got there so I just went in to see if they could squeeze him in. I was glad they could. By the time we got there it had closed up and looked better, but the doctor didn't see him until almost 5:00 and it happened at 2:45. They said at that point he didn't need stitches.
I'm so mad that the school didn't call me. They just put a freaking bandaid on it. I don't care if school was getting out in 45 minutes, if they had called me right when it happened I could have gotten him in sooner and he could have had stitches. I shouldn't have to find out about something like this from my son when I pick him up. They didn't know if it caused unseen damage to his eye or the bone. I'm so mad. *grumble* Sorry, I just needed to vent.
