An Update on my Nephew

Count Adolfo · March 30, 2009, 05:42:02 PM

OK, many of you have been asking so I'll get the word out here...

First, for any of you who are wondering what I'm talking about... on Saturday, my nephews were playing with my son. Falcone let my 7 year old nephew borrow a wooden cutlass and he was swinging it around under the special events tent while we waited out the rain. While he was standing stationary and holding it thrust out, my 4 year old nephew ran into the point... eye first.

Yeah, he went down hard and was screaming and crying.
We took him to EMS and they couldn't even get him to open his eye. He went to the ER and he has a scratched cornea. He'll be ok in a few days. It won't be comfortable but... he'll be ok.

I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you who helped out in dealing with the situation. Some are not on here and I'll have to seek them out to thank them personally.

Our wondrous Queen, Madge Estes... tried to make him feel better...
members of her Court, others on cast... were most helpful and it's very much appreciated.

Latest update is this:
Doctor gave the lad numbing drops and took the eyepatch off.
He's in good spirits and we expect he'll want to come out to BARF on Sunday to get the day at Faire that he was robbed of...

Madge Estes · March 30, 2009, 05:49:49 PM

Huzzah! Glad to hear he is doing well, and that it was nothing more serious. Please make certain to find me so that he and I may have a few moments in better circumstances!

Count Adolfo · March 30, 2009, 05:52:01 PM

I most certainly shall!!!

Lady Mikayla of Phoenicia · March 30, 2009, 07:11:13 PM

I am so glad to hear he will be ok.

Celtic_Fae · March 30, 2009, 07:25:49 PM

Good to know he's doing better

Anna Iram · March 30, 2009, 09:56:33 PM

Ouch! I can imagine how much that hurt!

Glad to hear he'll be fine Count.

Ambios · March 31, 2009, 07:22:08 AM

Very glad to hear that everything is turning out well!

Peddlin · March 31, 2009, 07:39:29 AM

Sounds terribly frightening for everyone, but I'm very happy with the outcome. It could have been so much worse.

Squire Mickey · March 31, 2009, 11:02:30 AM

Arrrrr. We needs get the lad a proper eye patch to me thinkin'

I'll work him up one fer this weekend. A proper tooled leather one

MargaretheDietrich · March 31, 2009, 02:39:23 PM

I'm glad that he's better. I know that must have been terrifying.
Bring him to see the Spanish Ladies on Sunday (and you'll both get to see me in court garb!)

Count Adolfo · March 31, 2009, 10:31:20 PM

OK, another update
I was awoken this morn by my nephew climbing on top of me... eyepatch gone... big smile on his face... a big hug
(you know... there is no money in the world that makes one as rich as the love of one's friends and family)

he said he can't wait to come with me this coming weekend to Faire...

he'll be with me on Sunday... dressed as a knight

LadyDracolich · March 31, 2009, 10:39:34 PM

I'm so sorry to hear about his injury, but very happy to hear about his recovery! I'm sure he'll have a fabulous time on Sunday!

Count Adolfo · March 31, 2009, 10:40:53 PM

we have such an abundance of amazing characters at BARF...

I am sure the lad will have a time he'll ne'er forget
(well, at least until he's 5)

Mmketeer · April 01, 2009, 02:23:03 PM

Good gracious, that must have really hurt!! What a brave little knight. I am so glad to hear he's doing well and I look forward to seeing him on Sunday. Battle wounds are sure fire chick magnets, so I hope he'll be able to ward them all off. <BG>

Aye, as if us older rogues don't have enough to contend with already in Falcone!

Now we have TWO young ones to compete with on Sunday!

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

I'll be sure to stop in as well Margarethe. I haven't had the chance to catch you "in" since we started. Will you be there all day in garb?

Not quite. I'll be out there from around 2pm on, God willing! Just look for the gal in Garnet and Gold with the huge mantilla comb!

Indeed, Seamus

See you Saturday!

Count Adolfo · April 02, 2009, 06:11:30 PM

Seamus
if you wish to see the lad on Saturday, you will need to drive out here to his house... for he will be there Sunday!
LOL!!!

Of course, if you drive out Saturday, maybe you can steal some of his material...

Ouch. Although I wager it be more in the delivery than the actual material where he has Seamus by a yard arm.

You have a point there, Mickey...
you have a point there.
