I was doing some laundry and my phone was ringing it was a number I didn't know so I didn't answer it. They called right back and left a message. I listened to the message to realize Brecken had got hurt on his ride home from school and a mom had stopped to help and called me. I hurried out of the house because she mentioned a broken nose and his face isn't looking to good. When I pulled up someone else had stopped and had water and they cleaned him up only to realize he didn't even hurt his nose. lol. All the blood was coming from his mouth. Upon further inspection we realized he had bit through his cheek and his mouth was pretty beat up. he needed stitches. We headed up to insta care. They took us back asap and then looked at him and said with a head injury they want him to go to the ER. So the new hurricane hospital is right next to the instacare so they loaded him in a wheelchair and wheeled us over. We got right in but I did not care for our dr at all. He was always in a hurry didn't do anything the instacare people asked him to do. We went to the ER because they wanted scans done on his head and face to make sure his jaw cheek weren't fractured as well as a concussion. He didn't even bring that up he looked at a few scratches and said he looked fine. I said well what about his mouth he hadn't even looked in there. He looked in and said we can just let that heal up on its own. I could put in some stitches but lets make it easy and just let the mouth heal. I said okay well what about the outside of his mouth and he goes oh well it looks fine. I said well when it was cleaned up there was a hole all the way through. He then said well I can't see anything so i'll have a nurse come and clean it but it should be fine. So the nurse came back in a cleaned it only to realize that yes in fact he had a big hole in his lip/cheek. The dr came back in and was like well I guess we have to do stitches I really didn't want to, but we have to and I might as well do the inside since it's even worse than the outside. What??? he seemed so annoyed and then telling me the inside is bad but he didn't want to do anything because he was lazy but since he has to do the outside he might as well do it all. So as he was finishing up I said well the whole reason they brought us over here was for scans on his jaw cheek and head. He grabs Breckens head and goes does anything hurt no okay you guys can go. I was so infuriated I left with a bad taste in my mouth for that dr. and when I got a survey to take on him I took it and told them my thoughts. Brecken was a champ though and got his indie and outside of his mouth stitched up. 4 on the outside 7 on the inside. It is swollen and he cant talk chew or swallow so we will be going to get some liquids and popsicles.
