The kid can't even sleep without sustaining some kind of injury

I'm really starting to be nervous about sending the boys to summer camp on Mondays because they always have some type of new injury. I wonder what the German version of CPS is called? Last weekend Jack took a major digger on his bike and really scraped up his nose (thank goodness he was wearing his huge snowboarding helmet).
The last of that scab just came off yesterday and then sometime in the wee morning hours I heard a thump, followed by a scream, followed by crying, followed by two sets of feet running to our room. Jack said he hurt his lip, but I figured he'd just fallen out of bed and since his bed is only about 12 inches off the ground it couldn't be that bad. I pulled him into bed with us (Luc had already wormed his way in) and tried to sleep. Jack kept moaning, thrashing and complaining of his lip. I finally got up and took him to his room to look at his lip. I found quite a bit of blood on the floor, walls, doors and his face was covered in blood. It had stopped bleeding, but it's very swollen - the pictures don't do the swelling justice. One of his top teeth had just turned back to whitish after being gray because he bruised it in a fall. I hope it doesn't turn back or fall out after this.
