Oh, Emily, hopefully with the lateness of my post, everything will be better for your son. I am sending up prayers for you both.
Bike riding in Holland is a way of life. They have special lanes along each side of the road, and traffic lights especially for the bikers! It makes so much sense!!!
Hugs and prayers, Kathi
How horrible and scary for this to happen to your boy, I know you must be strong though in coping with this, he'll be ok! With all our prayers coming from all these special people on this board, he will have a hopefulley a wonderful complete recovery, I will be praying for you and your family, and, yes, time to use those helmets! I hope he feels better soon!
Hugssss!

Your son's accident
Emily - I am so sorry. Glad he seems to be doing ok. I know exactly what this feels like as my daughter was in a similar accident when she was 16. Very scary! Sending good vibes to your family and hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Best wishes for your son and your familybetina61 said:So sorry
But thank God he is alive, and you can count with my prayers tonight and every night until you let us know he is home.
Emily:
I'm so sorry to read that your son was injured. I'm encouraged to read that you have things under control and that he is improving as I write this.
I'm sure this has been a most troubling time for you and hope you and your family find some solace soon.
Your enthusiastic upbeat posts always make me smile and I believe your resilience will get you though this tough time.

Oh, Emily2bhealed said:Update & thank you!
Hey Semi-colons,
Thank you all for your prayers and good juju. We made it through the night and he's doing well. We meet with an ENT next week. He's not as swollen as I figured he'd get--mostly scraped and shaken a bit. You can tell where the broken facial bones are if you look closely and his eye is blurry and "tired".
He feels like he's been hit by a truck--now literally.
It really could have been a whole lot worse so we are counting our blessings today and shuddering at the what-ifs from yesterday.
I am just so glad I was home to be here. We got back on Monday evening from being gone a month -- thank goodness. I didn't freak out when I got the call surprisingly enough but remained calm as he told me (while walking out of the emergency room) what happened. I was actually running with my training partner and had happened to put my cell phone in my fanny pack so it was good to have those happy endorphins pumping and someone beside me....any potential freak-out I pounded into the pavement. (my next triathlon is this Sunday--the Brewhouse--my Blue Wave Tri was a couple weeks ago).
So thanks for the prayers for Ian and me. I appreciate it very much.
Tomorrow is his birthday and I will be sticking to him like glue!
peace, emily
Emily,

*hugs*

THANK YOU
Thanks y'all for all the prayers.
I got Ian some better pain meds (per my mother's request--I listen to my mama) since he was throwing up the loratabs and still having achy body headache pain. His face is a bit more swollen now, there's a big bruise under his eye (which is bloody in the corner) and you can really see where the cheek bone is smashed in and his jaw is out of whack. He slammed into the side of the truck and his face took the brunt of it.
I'm trying to come up with soft things to cook him for his birthday since he's having trouble chewing.
Ok, gotta go juice him now though. (of course!) HA!
Semi-colons are the best!
