More bad news for the little guy. Wife took him to the Orthopedic today. He has a fracture in his hip. Sounds like the tendon stretched but stayed intact. Which pulled the bone causing a fracture. Now he will be on crutches for 4 weeks.

Son had the surgery today. They set one bone in his face. Repositioned the fractured bone in his upper jaw. Stitched 2 different places where the bones cut through his gums. Pulled down and repositioned his 4 front teeth. He has some sort of wire retainer on his upper mouth. He will have stiches removed and a checkup in 7 days. 4 more weeks on a liquid diet. If all goes well in 8 weeks they will decide and start working on his teeeth. But the bones need to heel incase implants are needed.

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.

Sorry to hear about your son! Hope he gets the help he needs

So very sad. I am glad your son came out of it alive country boy. Thoughts and prayers for him, your wife and you.

hope he is doing ok

It's Tuesday, can we have an update on your son, please?

Sorry to hear about this tragedy. Wishing your son, you and your family the strength to get through these difficult times.

I'm really sorry to hear about your son's bike accident and the trauma involved for you all. Your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers, and do hope for a full and speedy recovery. An awful lot for a 15 yr old to endure. You have such a graceful attitude about it all.

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.

So sorry this happened. Great message though. Sending prayers for full recovery for him and positive thoughts to you and your family.

I hope your son has a full and speedy recovery. Sending a prayer your way

Sorry to hear such horrible news. Tell him to keep his optimism high. Sending prayers!

Was a rough night for the little guy. He cried saying he didn't deserve to be so lucky. He said others deserved to be alive instead of him. He questioned why he survived where others haven't. I would have not expected anything else from my boy. You learn real quick that they take after you so much. Worried about others caring nothing about him self. I laid in bed with him for hours reassuring him he was supposed to survive. They will amaze you with what they think. Hopefully this was his only breakdown.

I wish all the best to your son! I have a 15yo son too!

So sorry to hear. Breaks my heart to hear this. Thoughts and prayers for you and your little man.

I wish you and your son the best. We learn from traumas like this. And thanks for sharing with us, because we learn too. We learn to appreciate what we have.

That's such awful news
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.

All the best to you and your family bro, especially your son! Glad to hear he made it through and is still with you guys. And by the sound of it, he seems to be a tough k.id; he'll be back at it in no time!!

Wow, so sorry to hear all this, I know it will be a long recovery, I'm sure we will all send up prayers for his safe and fast full recovery

Wow! Such sad news to share but the message is powerful; love 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?

Sorry to hear of the accident but at least he is still with you! Hope he gets better soon.

Such a terrible misfortune. Life hangs on a balance, for everyone of us. And ever since my daughter was born I am reminded of that every day. Carpe diem!

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!

Sorry to hear of this tragic misfortune,I wish him and your family a speedy recovery. Being a parent of 5 girls myself and going through a similar misfortune myself with my oldest, I can relate to your pain and agree Things happen when least expected. Best wishes!

I am glad things were not worse, wishing your son a speedy recovery

Anything can be gone at any moment, regrettably. And the worst is that it is often totally out of our control.

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.

Wishing him a speedy recovery!

thankfully he's alive, hope the road to recovery isn't too long and painful for him and you...stay strong *lix*
