Portrait of the Teenager
May 14, 2012
Once the good drugs kick in, the teenager continues texting as if his teeth haven’t been knocked half way down his throat or his lip split open.
On the other hand, I was whimpering in chair next to the bed.
And now for more fun, we are off to the orthodontist hoping the teeth can be saved.

May 14th, 2012 at 12:05 pmomg…poor kid…poor mommy…good luck!
May 14th, 2012 at 12:42 pmEwww….OW. I hope the orthodontist was able to save the teeth. I’m a mom of a 14 year old girl and can confirm the teen ability to text through just about any situation.
May 14th, 2012 at 12:50 pmOh. My. God. That poor child…I hope that he is okay!!! Hugs to you!
May 14th, 2012 at 1:23 pmWhat in the world did he do?
May 14th, 2012 at 1:25 pmSh**
May 14th, 2012 at 1:42 pmOn a better note, he seems to be taking it very well! Oh, Chris!
But wait . . . did I miss something. Whatever happened to your handsome teenager?
May 14th, 2012 at 3:08 pmOnce the good drugs kick in on the teen, they need to give the Mom a complimentary dose as well. I think we suffer more than the rugrats when they get hurt.
May 14th, 2012 at 4:11 pmOh NOOO!!! I hope that good news was heard. I’m so sorry, I know it is no fun.
May 14th, 2012 at 4:28 pmKids are amazingly resilient, aren’t they? Here’s hoping that the teeth can be saved.
May 14th, 2012 at 6:13 pmHow about some details?
May 14th, 2012 at 6:27 pmYou need to make a flip book with all of your emergency room photos. You’re there like once ever six weeks….. It will be entertaining (note I did not say “fun”) to look back at it later when they are grown.
May 14th, 2012 at 8:08 pmOh no! This is my greatest injury-related fear, I am so sorry! I have often gazed at your many, beautiful, active, risk-loving kids and wondered how they escape injury so well, especially when one of your boys was upside down on a skateboard! Such talent, and yet much for moms to bear when things go wrong. I hope his teeth can be restored and know that I and many mamas are crying with you next to his bed.
But damn, what a trouper that guy is! xo
May 14th, 2012 at 10:53 pmouch….. what more needs to be said..
May 14th, 2012 at 11:26 pmSo true & so disturbing! Good luck!
May 15th, 2012 at 8:26 amSo sorry. I’ve been through a majorly chipped tooth with my son. It made me totally whimper. Thank goodness for modern dentistry!!!
