September 22, 2011 Camber had surgery to repair a broken jaw...yep, one more surgery to add to her list. It was a freak accident. Ten days earlier she went to reach for the remote the same time her roomate stood up and her knee caught Camber under her chin and BAM. She said it hurt like crazy but she never thought "oh my...I think that just broke my jaw!" The next day she called to say that she had the worst toothache she has ever had....long story short: The next week she came up to see the dentist and he told her it wasn't her tooth but a her jaw. Both sides of the bottom jaw fractured at the back. The horrible pain was because the fracture was right on the nerve of her tooth. They had to put a plate in with 4 screws on the right side. It will stay unless she is bothered by it. She was a trooper once again. She had an amazing amount of swelling, poor thing. She missed 4 days of school but is now back at it and happily eating food again! She ain't no sissy! She, like all of our children, teaches us many things. She is one positive chick!
