My baby is in the hospital

[jarhead]

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.
