Our little trooper, Jay Jay, got ran over by a 4 wheeler.
With a 3 year old driver.
That's right.
A bunch of little cousins were gathered on a 4 wheeler to take a picture. Jay was right by the back wheel. The key was left in it, and somehow, it got started up and ran full throttle into a huge gear trailer...in the mean time, that back wheel grabbed little Jay, whipped him under the tire and spit him out the back as the wheels continued to spin out shooting gravel at him . There was a lot of screaming, crying, and kids all over, but all I could see was Jay, and I ran as fast as I could to him imagining it going into reverse back over him!! It was one of the most scary things I've witnessed as a parent first hand.
As you can see, he had quite the road rash, and was uncontrollably crying, limping, and saying "my back hurts..." so, we rushed him to the ER for fear of internal bleeding. We know kids can go downhill fast.
LUCKILY, and out of pure miracle, nothing more happened than this road rash. The Doctor who saw him even said we "dodged a bullet". We were so grateful that nothing happened to our Jay that day, or any of the other kids for that matter (Cade was right behind the driver, but was fine, just scared). It also taught us a great lesson....that kids observe and know more than we think and we always need to take every necessary precaution to avoid disaster.
We love you, Jay!
