Bruised

I got a call from the school today. At first I thought they needed me to come and get Nathan again. It was the principal, and she said she just wanted to let me know that Nathan got hurt at school. He was rushing to get outside for recess or something, and some kid pushed the door, and it hit Nathan right in the upper arm. He has a large bruise from it. They just wanted to let me know that he was okay now, but they didn't want me to find this bruise and wonder what the hell happened. I thought it was very nice of her to call. I also warned her that after getting hurt, Nathan would be ultra sensitive. She said they were well aware of that, and that his para was "hovering" over him. That's good. He didn't need another meltdown on top of this.

The bruise is pretty big, and nasty looking. I told Nathan if something like that happens again, and he just felt like talking to me about it, that he could ask the principal to call me at work and we could talk. Poor kid probably could have used a hug at the time, but maybe next time he can call and at least get a verbal hug.
