学校からいろんなお知らせがくるけれど、これは「頭部外傷についてのお知らせ」という題名。昨日、息子がランチの後、頭を打ったと学校から連絡があり、（私はちょうど留守だったので）主人が迎えに行って、念のため病院に連れて行った。意識もはっきりしているし、おそらくCTスキャンの必要はないでしょうとのことで家に帰ってくる。一日たっても、とくに問題はなかったので大丈夫でしょう。聞けば、ランチを食べてから、その場に立ってグルグル回転し続けてから、バランス感覚がなくなるのを楽しむという遊びをみんなでしていたらしいのだけど、バランスが完全に崩れた状態で友達に押されて転倒し、コンクリートで後頭部を打ったとのこと。もうちょっとマトモな転倒はないものかね。サッカーしてて敵にぶつかったとかさ。。ま、大事にいたらず感謝なことです。しかしながら、この学校からのお知らせ、ちゃんと印刷物になって用意されているということはそんなによくあることなのかね、学校で頭を打つということは。。。We receive all kids of notices from schools; field trip, fund raising, head lice, detention... but this one is titled, "Notice to parents regarding head injuries." We received a call from school yesterday that our son banged his head. I was not home and my husband took him to hospital to get get him checked just in case. He did not exhibit any serious symptoms, so they determined CT scan is not necessary. He came home, and we watched him until he went to bed. Now after a night, we think he is okay. According to him, after lunch, they were doing this game; you keep spinning on a spot for several minutes, then you find yourself completely without the sense of balance. While he just finished spinning, one of his buddies pushed him for fun, and he just simply fell and bumped his head against the concrete ground. I wish it happened a little fancier, like he was playing soccer and ran into one of the opponents or something, but anyway he is okay, for which we should be thankful. I was a sort of surprised to see this printed note in the picture, however. Does a head bump happen so often that schools feels pre-printed form is required??
