Benjamin's first broken bones are in his face :(

Benjamin had an accident in the bounce house slide with a teenager. Their faces collided when was going up and one was going down. Benjamin started crying and got a bruise and a golf ball sized hard pocket in his cheek, below his eye. After talking with a few Drs and with some of the symptoms he was having this morning I felt much better taking him in to be seen to make sure everything was ok. He had a few cts to verify different things and has a fracture in the rim of his eye and it is cracked going down into his cheek. It's on his right side close to his nose. As of right now he doesn't need surgery. We need to make sure he doesn't throw up because if he does then that means muscle will be stuck in part of the fracture and he will need surgery. We have to be extremely careful and his activities are very limited because any force to his face will cause something to move just a hair and he will then need surgery. So he will be sitting with grandma in the front office for the next few weeks during his recesses and p.e. They are watching the volume in his eye to make sure it doesn't change to keep his vision ok. We will be rechecked in a couple weeks to make sure it is healing and hasn't moved. If it isn't doing exactly what it needs to he will need surgery of a plate put under his eye.  Benjamin has been so strong and I am so proud of him dealing with all this pain. I am a wreck and am stressing that nothing goes near his face. He is just the sweetest boy and and his smile and eyes just melt my heart. It is so hard to see how swollen he is and his smile being affected by this. Right now he has a black eye and his entire cheek is bruised, that side of his face is completely swollen from jaw to eye. We are hoping for everything to go just right and for him to be healthy and strong. We just love him so much and so many others do too!!!
