Update on Jessica

It's been awhile since I have been able to get on here and post any updates. We have been so busy with kids and sports...Time really flies!

Jessica is going to Parkland College. Majoring in Dental Hygiene. She is also working as a hostess at TGI Friday's. Jessica had an accident at work on Sept 18th which also happened to be her birthday. She was at work and she passed out. When she passed out, she hit her chin on the corner of the hostess stand. then she hit the brick floor. She split her chin open so deep that her chin bone was exposed. She was rushed to the hospital and they stitched her up. She received over 20 stitches inside and out. While she was there, she started puking up blood/blood clots. They did a scan and discovered she had a small bleeding ulcer. This is what caused her to pass out. Jessica has been suffering from Migraines alot and she has taken Ibuprofen over the years. I guess she has had enough of it that it ate a small hole in the lining of her stomach. The doctor when in a cauterized it. After a 2 day stay in the hospital, she was home. She is completely healed and taking all the meds she needs to prevent migraines and to control her ulcer. I have pictures, but they are extremely graphic and I don't want to freak anyone out. But if you would like to see them, shoot me an email:) Im attaching the picture of when her chin was stitched. If you want to see the before picture, let me know.
