When your children are in the hospital

Greetings dads,
We are an active family and do not slow down in the winter: hockey, skiing, sledding, but we recently dodged a bullet.
Two Thursdays ago, my six year old daughter got a bit out of control skiing a hit a tree - thank God she was wearing her helmet.
I drove to the hospital from work to find her crying on a back board with a brace around her neck, a broken clavicle asking me to take her home. We knew from the Cat scan that there were some long-term issues and she would be off to Children's Hospital in Boston. My wife spent Thursday with her, I took over Friday, Sarah returned for Saturday, and Lily came home on Sunday. The care at Children's could not have been better: from the nurses, the Dr.'s, anyone who had contact with Lily was fantastic. We are so happy to have her home: she is up and about and back to school for some 1/2 days. I have been reflecting since and thinking how close we came - thank God she was wearing her helmet!
Enjoy every day and have fun with your kids; don't forget how important they are to you.
Very Best,
Toby
