Jacob's Accident

On Memorial Day, we received a call at home that Jacob was being taken to the ER. I believe we only got the call when we did because they needed my insurance information, since Jacob is on my policy. He was up north with his mother and grandparents. His grandpa had Jacob and his little brother in the back of his pick up driving around on their property. Anyway, Jacob fell out of the truck and fractured his collar bone. He is pretty bruised and scratched up, but he is doing very well. He has to be in the harness and sling for about 6 weeks. I personally would never put young children in the back of a moving truck, not very responsible in my opinion. I'm just glad he is okay.

I am so glad that the injuries weren't worse.
I must confess though. My sister and I used to ride in the back of the pickup all the time when we were young. However, if you have ever ridden with my dad you will realize how slow he drives and there was never any real threat. You can't speed and check out crops at the same time

We used to ride in the back of my dad's truck too, and most of the time he had a topper on the truck. At least he had the tailgate up. I think the kids were sitting on the tailgate. It's also illegal now.

Praise God it wasn't worse! He is such a cute little kid! Someday after the kids get out of school you'll have to bring him to the pool and he can play with James :)

Pam, that sounds wonderful. He would love that, and I could use some work on my tan, or lack of. :)

OH Yeah we were NEVER allowed to ride on the tail gate.
