Head Wound

I was in the nurse's office at the junior high today, setting up her Outlook.  The nurse, Renee, wasn't on campus so I was in the office by myself when the bell rang dismissing students from their current classes.  I leaned over and shut the door so it wouldn't get too loud and continued to configure her e-mail account.  It got louder and louder in the hallway and a student opened the door and said, "We need the nurse."  I told him the nurse was not on campus today, then asked him what happened.  He moved out of the way and let a small student walk into the office.  I'm guessing the boy was a 5th or 6h grader but was obviously small for his age.  I thought he looked a lot like Trevor except that he had a large amount of blood all over his face, hands, shirt and pants.  I walked him to the nurse's table and grabbed a few paper towels which I asked him to hold against the wound and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.  I got him to lay down and proceeded to clean him up.  He was a very friendly young man and was in remarkably good spirits considering the hole in his head.  He was accidentally pushed into the edge of the lockers and they had cut about a one inch gash in the middle of his forehead.  The teacher closest at the time was a substitute and this was her first day.  She got a couple of other teachers and they called the office.  Mr. Talley came and investigated and the mother was called to come get him.  Later, Mr. Talley and a few of the teachers thanked me for helping and getting the student taken care of.  I guess I was just in the right place at the right time.  It's not my first go around with a little blood.  Oh, and I did finish setting up Renee's e-mail too.
