My name is Cordell. I have 2 brothers, 1 sister, and 1 stepbrother. One day my older brother Marquette, my older sister, and myself made one of the biggest mistakes of our lives: all three of us tried to pick up my little brother Tavon and dropped him. All of this happened in my home in Georgia.

When Tavon's head hit the ground his head started bursting out blood. Tavon started seriously crying. My brother, my sister, and myself tried to get Tavon to stop crying. But it turned out that he had a hole, a slight gash in the side of his head. My mom Charmice rushed Tavon to the nearest hospital and they rushed him into surgery to see if he's going to survive or die of losing blood.

My mom, my brother, my sister, and myself slept at the hospital to see if there was any memory lost do to the damage done to Tavon's head. My mom carried her laptop and I got on MySpace to talk to my stepbrother. My stepbrother asked me why did we all try to pick up Tavon at the same time I said I guess we were all thinking the same thing at the same time. The hospital said he lost his short term memory for a short period of time.

After we got home from the hospital my mom had to leave back out to stop at C.V.S pharmacy to put a prescription for Tavon memory loss. Tavon woke up the next day with his memory back but Tavon kept laughing at my jokes like me and him going to box and he going to knock me out. My mom said she wanted Tavon to get some rest before going to school that next day. I didn't go to school that next day because I got sick because I had to clean up Tavon's blood off the floor.

Later on that next day Tavon said he had a headache but it took some stiches to close up the gash on the side of Tavon's head. Tavon was feeling really good when he woke up he got on his bike. My mom had to show Tavon how swallow pills like Tylenol, Mydol, and or Advil. In conclusion, I learned 1 by 1 to pick up a baby just like Tavon.
