Thanks for asking, He is doing very well. He was able to return to school today, and has been over 24 hrs. w/o symptoms. He has had a bad headache since the incident, understandably but that has subsided too. I and my wife had everyone we knew praying for him and sending well wishes. I am not a superstitious person per se, but I do believe in Karma. He is just ...... now, because we are restricting his activity and not allowing him to be the maniac that he is accustomed to being. I am sooooo grateful, you will understand when you have kids, I would rather cut off my own arm than to see one of them suffer.
I wanted to comment on your step dad's incident, but by the time, I got caught up it was long gone. Sounds like a tough old bast*rd. You know it is hard coming to grips with aging physically, you want to pretend you are young as long as possible. When you helped him flip the mower back did he say "meant to do that."?
I'm like that too. Glad to hear you have a good relationship with him. My older boy's are step's too and I have a great relationship with them as well. You wouldn't know that they are not mine except I'm 5'8" and they are both over 6'3". I get crazy looks when I introduce them as my son's.
