Tonight, we were making soup, and I got a call from a woman who said, "Your
son Eric has been in an accident, but it doesn't look like he is seriously
injured."  Eric is 13 and was visiting a friend just out of town.  He and
Ragan are close friends, and have known each other as long as they can
remember.

They were supposed to be easing along in the pasture on a four-wheeler
(hunting/recreational vehicle,) instead, they had gotten onto the country
road, and lost control in the gravel and were thrown off at a pretty good
speed.  The woman and her husband happened upon them and called 911, then
Ragan's parents, then us.

She gave me directions, and we jumped into the car and rushed out Fish
Hatchery Road.  I could see the two ambulances as we rounded the bend, along
with two deputies' cars, and several other vehicles.  I really got nervous
at that, but when we got there, I could tell that while they were pretty
skinned up, they were not in deep trauma.

They were taken to the ER, CT Scanned,  x-rayed, and examined (It just so
happened that the boys' Physician was at the hospital making rounds, so they
got personal care by "Dr. Jim.")

The good news is that neither sustained serious injury, but both will be
mighty sore.  Eric didn't have my permission to go on a four-wheeler, but
then  it never had been an issue before.  If you have a kid, show them these
pictures.  These boys were lucky, though they would have been luckier if
they had not ridden at all.
