Would you know what to do if?

Last week at Arama's rugby game a boy on his team took a kick to the back of the neck. He had tingling sensations down his spine and it hurt quite a bit. I know basic first aid but not as much as his dad (coach of team and one of the Club Managers). Anyway, after he was sent off on the Ambulance (which was not really neccesary) It reminded me about something I have been thinking about. A sports injury course. I figure I am going to be on the sidelines for another at least 19 years with Rugby, Netball and any other sports the kids decide to get involved in, so it would be invaluable for me to be able to really know and be confident in knowing what to do.... that leads me to the question above to you....Would you know what to do if????

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
