Friday night after finishing supper, my mother said Elijah had ran into a tree. Now the only tree on the side of the yard she was looking at was my tulip tree.
So I imagined that he had just ran into the leaves or something. Really did not take it seriously until I heard him scream and Doug and Mom jump up and run out the door. Needless to say when I looked I saw something like this (this is a re-enactment. I did not stop to grab the camera!).
He was actually in the tree further. I could see head and arms on one side and feet on the other and he was not touching the ground at all. He was screaming really loud and all I could imagine was him being impaled by a tree limb. I nearly knocked my mom down trying to get to him. He was fine. A bruised toe, several scrapes and bruises. The tree was fine too. This mommy though aged a few years in those few minutes.
