Default My baby is in the hospital

My Daughter Kasey is at a junior college in Northern WY. She is a resident assistant and has to stay up until 0100 several evenings until lockdown or whatever it is called nowadays.

Last night we received a call from a friend of hers at 0200 from a clinic in Powell, a Doctor wanted to speak with us. It seems a few of them were doing kick boxing moves in the hallway and she volunteered to do one of hers (she is pretty good, but not this time). She went up and came down on her chin fracturing her jaw in three places and cracking several teeth in the back of her mouth.

My wife got on a plane and flew to Billings,MT where they took her by ambulance. She is in surgey now, they are removing three of her teeth, and wiring her jaw shut.

She wants badly to stay in college, time will tell if they will let her. She was able to call us early this morning even though her jaw wouldnt move she could speak, was in a positive mood (morphine maybe, or stubborn like me).

I tell you for an old Jarhead this made me cry, kind of hard to be 10 hours away from my baby.

Joe

Sorry to hear......wishing her a speedy recovery. College will still be there if she has to take some time off.... In the grand scheme of life, if she's healthy the other stuff can be figured out.

Thanks guys, she just out of surgery, three full breaks on the jaw and three pulled teeth. The Doctors synopsis is she is strong, and will pull through well.

Modern medicine and doctors amaze me. We as a family feel blessed.

I kept her spirits up on Facebook today with allot of pictures and jokes. I said I needed my master mechanic back in town to finish this...

Wow Joe!! Having two kids of my own -- almost grown ups now.... I can feel the pain!

I'm always worried about the distance the kids live from us! Thank God - SW looks out for Adrienne who's at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin. Can't tell ya how much calmer I am knowing he's there!

She'll get better quickly! They're young and heal well... and like you said - modern medicine is really a miracle.

No concussion means she takes after her Dad huh?

Glad it's 'relatively' minor considering the number of freak accidents we've all seen that resulted in much worse injuries.

Sorry to hear about you daughter Joe. Like you said she's tough and she knows she has you guys to be there for her. I hope she has a quick and complete recovery. I'll say a prayer for all of you.

As a parent I can only image how tough this is, Joe. Hang in there and tell her LatG is pulling for her quick recovery!

Take care man,
