Memorial day was an exciting one in our family.  Spencer went skating with some buddies and had an accident – got himself a nice concussion and a case of short term memory loss.  I can joke about it (a little) now, but at the time it was totally freaking me out.  He hit his head after falling backwards off his board and falling on the ramp, head first.  According to his friends, he didn’t get knocked out – he got up saying his head really hurt.  Fortunately one of his friend’s mom was there and she brought him right home.  But before they even got him home he had begun asking over and over what had happened.  He was pretty upset and kept saying the same things over and over.  It was pretty disconcerting.  Tom gave him a blessing and then I drove him to Urgent Care who promptly sent him on to the emergency room...
