Tanks and Kids

[spreerider]

So i came home from work today and my dog imediatly rolls over and whines when i walk in, immediatly i know he is in trouble. I walk into the living room and notice water all over the floor, and a chair leaned up against a tank with the glass smashed out.
luckily it was my 10g sump that i hadent plumed in yet.
I started cleaning it up when my neighbour called and told me my wife took my son to the hospital because he fell through the tank head first.
I immediatly called the hospital and they told me he was getting stitches but was going to be ok.
I cleaned up the water and everything then left for the hospital.
Here are some pics of the, adventure.

[spreerider]

he was playing "ironman" and jumped from the couch to a computer chair on wheels that reclines, and it tipped backwards and he went with it.

[sitandwatch]

Glad that he is ok, Just today I told my little guy to put the chair away.

[lastlight]

Wow I would have freaked that is scary. No better time than now to build a stand front.

[fdiddy]

Wow, good one... he looks tough! That's terrible though. I'm glad he is ok.

[hillegom]

Man, Glad he is ok. What an experience!

[Alberta-newb]

Nasty! Glad he will be OK. Kids will be kids...my parents would take me the hospital at least once a month for stiches when I was that age. Now I know why my dad went grey so young!:lol:

[Delphinus]

Ai yi yi. Speedy recovery for the dude!

[leezard]

Wow. I remember when I broke my arm, and called my mom to tell her I was at the hospital getting x-rays (which was right across the street from my school). She nearly got into three accidents on the way to get me because she was distracted.

Hence, I can only imagine how your wife drove to the hospital.

I'm glad they made it ok!

[spreerider]

im just glad my wifes aunt was staying with us, she is the one who drove and took him in to the hospital and held him when he was getting stitched.
My wife has a strange habbit of fainting at the hospital.

A women after my own heart. How is port alberni? lived there when I was a kid, my
dad worked on that hospital. I remember one year we got snow it was amazing there
was this street that was long and steep and we went sledding. Pretty much all I
rememeber. Oh that and the green door motel!!

[spreerider]

Leah,
Port Alberni is probably exactly the same as you remember except we have a walmart, cnd tire and a staples now.

[MikeP]

Glad he's going to be okay. Hope he pretends to be a superhero that cant fly from now on :wink:.

[brizzo]

Ouch!!! On the bright side at least it wasn't his eye!!!

[fishoholic]

YIKES! and OUCH! I'm glad he's going to be ok.

[sharuq1]

Glad he's going to be ok, very lucky he didn't damage his eye.
