When i was 1 my parents put me on a sk8 board and let me down the drive way. I went down the drive way of the curb and in the middle off the street. I stayed on the board the whole time. That’s when we knew i was going to love sk8ting. I’ve been sk8ting ever since.

Blood,Sweat and Tears

This Saturday I was at the skate park with my friend Sam and I was doing a run in the bowl. In the middle of my run, I slipped on debris in the bottom and fell back on my head.  Luckily I was wearing my triple8 helmet. Sam and one of my friends went in the bowl and helped me out.  Sam insisted on calling my mom (thanks Sam!) and I didn’t want to at first because I thought I would feel better in a minute.  He called his mom anyways which is a good thing because his mom came and picked us up and took me home.  I was feeling pretty bad and my dad put me in the shower because he thinks the shower fixes everything. Then I started throwing up. My mom decided that we should go to the hospital so we went to the one by our house.  They did a CT Scan and saw that I had blood in my brain on the left front side. They had to send me in an ambulance to the Children’s Hospital because that’s where the neurosurgeons are that work on kids. They put me in the ER there and then they admitted me into a room in the ICU where I spent the night.  They woke me up every hour all night.  I stopped throwing up and started to feel better.  Then the next day Sam visited me and so did my grandparents and my aunt and uncle.  Around 6:00 pm they finally unhooked all the IV’s and stuff and let me go home.  I still have a headache today, but feel much better.  The doctor said I can’t go to school or do any sports for a while.  I have to have a follow up visit in a week.  There are only 3 days left of school and I’m going to go back and say goodbye tomorrow.  It’s such a bummer because I can’t do any sports and right now in baseball we are in the playoffs.  I only get to sit and watch.

I’m hoping to get a helmet sponsor out of this.  So if anyone knows of any companies that do that, let me know.  I’m one of the only kids that wear their helmets at the park.  I can only imagine how this could have turned out different if I didn’t wear my helmet.  Thanks to Triple8sports helmets and to my Grandpa and Inger Johnson for buying it.

Here’s a picture of me in the hospital and my helmet.
