...to say that he had broken his nose playing soccer and was in the emergency room waiting to see a doctor.
(Bending down to do a header - hitting the ball with his head - he had accidentally been kicked in the face.)
Will this change his appearance? Will he have breathing or sinus problems? I wondered.
But later - when he called again to say that... Yes, his nose was broken...
...but the doctor had said that he had been kicked in the right place:
Any higher, and he would have had a concussion...
Any lower, and he would have lost some teeth...
At that point, I was truly thankful!
(I guess all thankfulness begins with a sense of perspective.)
