Justin gets hurt

3/17/08: St. Patrick's day. We went to dinner at our friends/neighbors house. We had a great time, had corn beef and cabbage that was delicious. The kids were playing and doing their thing. Then we heard Justin start screaming and he came running into where I was. He was covering his mouth and crying. When he pulled his hands away from his mouth blood just came pouring out. Of course I freaked out a little bit. It was a lot of blood. It took about 20 minutes to stop the bleeding. I thought for sure that he had bit the tip of his tongue off. Or knocked out a tooth. Turned out that he fractured his jaw and punctured his gums. WOW!!!! So Justin is on a strick liquid diet for 3 weeks. And no activities. No racing, no karate, no playing with his friends, no horsing around. He can't do anything active. We really don't want to take the risk of him actually breaking it, because then he will need surgery and have to wire his mouth shut. So this is going to be a very long 3 weeks. It may even be longer. It is just 3 weeks to start. So I will keep you all posted on his recovery.
