My son injured---

Late Sunday night/early Monday morning morning my son was injured. I received a call at about 12:30 midnight that my 22 yr old. son had fallen down a set of concrete steps outside an apt building at a friends house that he had been visiting.

The concrete was wet, and he wasn't paying atention, or holding the hand rail, and he slipped and fell al the way down.

I met him in the ER, he was bruised, they stitched up cuts on his face, but the biggest news was that he had a broken jaw.

He was seen by a maxilofacial surgeon on Tuesday, and he had surgery on Wed am. They put a plate in his jaw, and unfortunately, also had to wire his jaw shut in order for it to heal properly.

He is now home resting. I am so thankful, that all the injuries he suffered were fixable! I did major grocery shopping for liquid foods that he can eat, as he was already very slender, 6'2" and only about 155 ", so I'm hoping to be able to feed him high calorie liquid foods.

His jaw will likely be wired shut for about 4 weeks. Poor kid. I told him I gave him 2 weeks, and then we were talking about this. If he'd been home asleep like normal people....he wouldn't have gotten hurt!
