The Dogmother Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Golly, that's heartbreaking I know what it's like to get 'that phone call' about your child. I hope that he continues to make a recovery. ... all in the name of vanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Golly, that's heartbreaking I know what it's like to get 'that phone call' about your child. I'd forgotten what happened to Rosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Me too until I hear something like this, thankfully she's fine now. It is heartbreaking to hear your sporty child ask 'will I be able to run again Mum?' I hope that Ryan will be able to speak and walk again.

Saronne Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I signed. I knew a child who survived a cycling accident ONLY because she was wearing her helmet. The neurosurgeons were in no doubt about what the outcome would have been had she not been wearing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Update: Success! Tomorrow Russell will wear his helmet, and hopefully will continue to do so for the rest of his successful career in teeth. Thank you for saving his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great news, got the update on my news feed, you can't argue with a majority verdict. My hairdresser's son suffered serious head injuries in a cycling accident and he was wearing a helmet. He made a good recovery fortunately. The consultant at the hospital he was in said that they referred to cyclists without helmets as organ donors, that says it all really.
