After Hannah’s experience with the EMT’s yesterday, Ben decided he needed to out- do her. On his first lap around the track last night he took a nose dive on his dirt-bike and hit head first. Because it was a head injury and because he couldn’t remember what had just happened, or what he had done earlier in the day, or where we had just come from, they ended up air-evacuating him to St. Joseph’s hospital.
After the helicopter ride and a few hours at the hospital for a ct-scan they released him with a diagnosis of a minor concussion.
So now he’s upset that he can’t race this weekend, that he didn’t get a chance to look out the window on his first helicopter ride, and that he paid $25 for one lap around the track. I told him I’ll gladly trade him his $25 track entry fee for the air transport bill I’m bound to get (for some reason, our health insurance company doesn’t have any air-evac companies on their “preferred provider” list… go figure).
