Wishing your son a speedy recovery...
Keep NCSoft from shutting down City of Heroes : http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
I hope your son has a speedy recovery.
Wow, Boricua, that WAS a terrible phone call. I can only imagine what you felt. I have three boys of my own.
Hopefully your son will heal quickly with no lasting damage.
Que Dios lo bendiga!

I can't find the right words to say. But sometimes words aren't important.
My thoughts are the same as everyone else. And that is what is important.

Wow...he was truly blessed that's for sure. My brother had the same thing happen to him one day. He and I got in a fight and I had locked him out of the house. So he hops on his bike and starts riding down the road to go get mother so he can get back in. Almost to the Huddle House where mother was having coffee, and bam! Someone hit him from behind on the bike. He was one place and the bike was about 50 feet away. Never found out who it was that hit him, but he turned out to be ok. Played baseball that night even.

the boy was more concerned with the SoB that hit then he was himself. took a bit of convincing but finally got my son to tell me what happened...sorta.
apparently the ******* saw him and was waving him off, a get out of the way wave before he slammed into my kid, 2 lane major roadway with no traffic in the other lane, had he just applied the brakes and switched lanes he would have missed my son entirely.
thank you all for your prayers, he is dong much better and hopefully will be home tonight, then starts the healing process.
kinda feel bad, he saved his christmas and birthday money to buy himself that bike and it's trashed, i'll buy him a new one but it wont be the same.
again thank you all

I'm so sorry.
I hope he gets better quickly.
Wow. :/ Well, I certainly hope that the police and any future folk dealing with this will make sure that you're financially covered for the injuries and bike anyway!
*hugs*
>_> Waaaait a minute, what perfect timing, getting into an accident right when school is starting?

I hope things turn out alright for you, Rican. I know how it could have been much worse. I lost a friend a long time ago to the same thing.

Best wishes to your son for a speedy recovery. Glad someone or something was looking out for your family.
Sorry to hear that.
I hope hes up on his feet as soon as can be.
Sorry about the bad news, you have my prayers and wishes for his speedy recovery.

he's home finally, out of comission for 4-6 weeks but considering everything he's gone through, 4-6 weeks is better then the alternative.
now we can start the healing process, getting him better, back to his old mild mannered self. I am truly blessed, again thank you all for your prayers he heard them and answered them.

Being the parent of two grown children, I can remember a few horrifying moments like this. I know how you feel, Boricua, and my thoughts and prayers are with you, your son and your family.
I hope they nail that SOB's hide to the wall.

Okay devil's advocate moment here. There are times when it's not necessarily that easy or straightforward. Especially when the realization that you're about to hit someone with your 2500 pound pile of metal, plastic and rubber. And the driver was probably at LEAST as scared while it was happening and may have frozen up.|

Now, this is not to say the driver should be let off with a slap on the wrists. His insurance should be paying for your son's hospital bills and possibly replacement of the bike. But should you go out of your way to wreck the guy's life for something that may have been accidental?
Just something to think about.

If nothing else, it's an object lesson on how impermanent "stuff" is.
Did he need to learn it this early in life or in so painful a manner?
Probably not, but some people are just philosophically opposed to doing things the easy way...

Wow, That's one call I hope to never have. Good luck to your son, hope he gets better.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
Best of wishes to you and your family, and especially your son, Boricua! May he heal at least twice as fast as the doctors say!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

So yesterday after a most tiresome day at work I get home and decide to Veg for a bit before I get my CoH fix, then the phone rings........."this is seargant so-so from the Schaumburg Police department, do you have a son named sso-so?"
At first I thought that maybe he and his freinds did something stupid and someone called the cops, mind you my son is a good kid, I know alot of parents say that about thier kids but me i'm blessed, he's just a good kid.
The officer told me to remain calm that my son was in an accident but he was o.k, my 12 yr old son was hit by a car while riding his bike. As a parent you NEVER want to get a call that your child was injured...never, I got that call and let me tell you it's the WORST feeling in the world.
He's doing fine thank the good lord, a concusion and 2 fractures in his foot considering the distance he traveled when he got hit, he had an Angel on his shoulder yesterday.
Since the investigation is still on-going the police can't tell me what if anything was done to the driver of the car, all I know is that a stranger almost took from me one of the 2 most precious things in my life ( the other being his brother ) and thankfully the almighty father decided it wasn't time yet.
I needed to vent so I thank you all for listening and thank you even more for any prayers you'd be willing to offer up for my sons speedy recovery and even speedier return home.
