I am very happy to say that my son is recovering great from his brain surgery last Wednesday. He is at home know and is acting as if the accident never happened. I cannot begin to express how lucky I feel considering the extent of his injury. The doctor is a bit surprised as well and said we are very fortunate in that many kids with less serious brain injuries are left with permanent impairments. I thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
He is a bit unhappy with the fact that he cannot ride his skate board for 6 months. I told him to take up a new hobby anyways. I can't go through that sort of this ever again.
The stiches run all the way down behind his ear but there is absolutley no redness or swelling. He is a champ :)

Wow, I wish him the best. Hopefully everything continues to go better than expected until he's made a full and speedy recovery.
If you don't mind me asking, what caused him to need the surgery?

running good in life > running good in poker
glad to hear he is doing well, at least he has a scar to show off

OMG I can't believe I missed that first thread. Thank God he is ok. Nice work on rushing him to the ER as soon as you could tell he was confused. If not for your swift action, he may not be home with you right now.

Regarding the Kaiser thing from the other thread, i think it really depends on the facilities and physicians/surgeons available. my dad worked at kaiser for 30+ years, but when he got sick was treated at John Muir bc it was the nearest hospital really equipped to give him the specialized surgery he needed. sounds like dr. sun pwns majorly. hope everything continues getting better and better

Didn't read the original thread, and I'm too drunk to do so now, but that's awesome things worked out perfect. Glad he's okay!

that is a mean-looking scar. he won't need tattoos or piercings to look cool.

Make sure he knows that chicks dig scars. And he has a helluva story to tell.
Best wishes to him and to you.

so awesome that the surgery was successful! kids bounce back quick even from the most traumatic experiences. i had brain surgery when i was a kid. my parents handled it very well and treated it basically like an adventure, and 21 yrs later i have a cool scar and story..hopefully you can pursuade him to take up a new hobby, but try not to treat him like he's too fragile even though it breaks your heart to see your baby hurting so bad. keep us posted on his recovery plz

excellent news that he's doing well, you'll just have to start him the pokerz early now that he has to give up the boarding

i had brain surgery when i was a kid.
That explains ALOT! 
To OP... great job doing what you've done.
To all parents; you can't force your kid to wear a helmet but maybe showing them this thread will make them think twice.
