I am praying this is nothing, but my 7yo, Paul, fell from the top of the neighbor's play structure and hit his head and back. He was ok at first, but developed a headache that has him crying with pain. Dh has just left to take him to the ER. Please pray that he is ok. Thank you!
God Bless,
Stacy in MI
Update:
Thank you SOOO much for the prayers. I was really worried, and they helped me too. Paul had xrays and ct scan. No breaks, although he does have some soreness and bruising on one shoulder. And "only" a grade one concussion! He feels tired, has a slight headache and is sore this morning. I am very relieved. The structure he was on was 10 feet high, and the doc said that is what they call a "fatal" height, as in a fall from that height can be fatal. Of course, that bit of info made me feel ill. But we were able to tell Paul that he simply cannot go climbing in that manner, anymore. Thanks, so very much, again! Knowing your prayers were with him meant so much! 
Update 2: Paul said his arm rarely hurts now, and he was so excited when I told him so many prayed for him.  I do believe the guardian angels in this house work extra hard!
I just wanted to pass on a couple of things I read, related to the doctor's startling remark. In searching for info on the 10 foot mark, there were some that were adults who perished at a mark as low as 7 feet. I won't go into the details.  Regarding children's play areas, this gave the best detail on surface preparation under play structures.
I also wanted to add that I am so grateful for all of you!!!!

Stacy, phew! Glad to hear the update!
Prayers for continued healing...and remember not to allow him to put his head at risk until at least two weeks after all symptoms have subsided.

Oh Stacy, just HEARING that from the doctor about the height is enough to traumatize you, even though all is ok! Praise God for guardian angels! Praying your son makes a swift recovery!

Indeed!!! Thanks be to God for your son's guardian angel!
I'm just reading your update and I'm rejoicing with you that he is ok...but the fatal height of 10 feet??  That's scary. I'm glad you shared that!
