 | Our 15 year old was hit by a car on his bike yesterday evening. He was on his way home from the gym which is less than a quarter of a mile from our house. We recieved a call from the local police dept saying he was being transported to the trauma unit at the hospital. Naturally my wife freaked. He had no internal bleeding. His brain, neck, and spine were ok. No broken bones. But he has road rash all over. 4 front teeth are broken. And he has several fractures in his face. He will see the best reconstructive facial surgeon in South Florida on Monday. The poor boy is home and in pain. Throwing up sick. Can't eat can't drink. Face and teeth are destroyed. To watch your baby go through this is killing us. Love your kids, love your family. We are so thankful he is alive. We are so thankful he is not in a wheel chair. Never take those babies for granted. They can be gone in a blink of an eye. |

Rough night for our son. He wants to eat so bad. He will be going to a pediatric orthopedic on Friday. To look at his legs and hips. Wife has missed 3 days of work. Fighting with school to get his work. Fighting with doctors and insurance companies on who is responsible for bill. Doctors refusing to see us. This whole shit is a fucking nightmare. Just fix my son. Between medical, dental, and car insurance. Someone will pay the damn bill.

Maybe it would have been better if we had ObamaCare.
Prayers going out again, of course.
I'm at the hospital right now with my **** who was just admitted for a medical emergency. I am a caregiver so he's like a son too. It is the worst feeling in the world.
You're right; life's so fragile and tenuous--can never take it for granted. Be well and continued blessings.
I'm so glad you still have him with you and I hope he'll be OK again soon. My warmest wishes to you and your family.
I'm sure it's difficult, as your ch.ildren grow (and especially b0ys), to show them the love and affection that you would like to. Being a parent is THE MOST DIFFICULT "job" that you will ever have. Finding the proper balance disciplinarian and "friend", you want your ch.ild to respect you and your authority as a parent, not fear you. Always let your actions and words be reflective of your because you're so right, life can be gone tomorrow.
You didn't mention, was this a hit-and-run, did the driver of the car stop?
I realize that this was only 48 hours ago, how is your son?
Hope your son is doing some better. Pain medicine will make him moody and has it's own effects on people.Being young,may be worse than on a adult as far as side effects.
Good to hear your son survived the crash. He will be reminded of that few seconds for the rest of his life, but its a good thing he is alive to be reminded. I wish him and you&your family the best getting him through his recovery!
I'm glad it's not that bad as I imagined from the title.
Sometimes a straw can make drinking easier with this kind of trauma.
