My Baby Girl
Friday, November 20, 2009 at 5:13AM 
My little K3 was hit by a truck yesterday morning after she got off the bus.
Essentially, the truck mirror caught her in the face and chest. Her chest is bruised but no broken bones. Her jaw was broken in two places and at least one tooth is gone.
This is the ct scan of her head. You can see the contusion from her head striking the pavement.
Here is her lower jaw. I don't have a shot of her upper one.
We are off to the hospital this morning for what will likely be the first of several procedures. They will be wiring her jaw back together this morning.
I can't even dwell on the specifics of the accident or the whys. My baby is hurting and likely will be for some time. I will say that this business of disability and trying to allow your child to be independent (take the bus) leaves you in the usual predicament... the urge to protect will always be at war with the knowledge that you have to let them try for a normal life.
War is hell.
Please send whatever kind thoughts you have for my little girl. I'll update (likely facebook) when I can.
