“My family was in Cleveland last weekend visiting grandparents. We of course watched the Steelers game amidst a bunch of Browns fans. My 10-year old son went for a halftime bike ride with his uncle and had a bad accident. He was riding on a small dirt trick course. He hit a small jump and instead of landing, hiss flew over the handle bars. His face took the impact. We went to the ER. He got 5 stitches in his chin but he also knocked his bottom front teeth loose and chipped 2 teeth. We watched the end of the Steelers game and saw Big Ben throw the winning TD. Then he was ready to get his stitches. We decided to bring him home to get his teeth taken care of. Monday was a long day of dental and orthodontic work. He got braces on his bottom teeth to stabilize and gently move the damaged teeth. He chose black and gold bands!
Luke was tough the whole time. He had recently watched Big Ben’s movies about his surgery and recovery. Luke said ‘Oh man…it’s going to hurt to get these stitches out! Big Ben was even in pain!!’ I told him these stitches were way different!
He has been watching the Steelers his whole life. Mommy and Daddy went to Miami with Big Ben. We are thankful Big Ben is a Christ following role model for our boys.†— Mom Allison.
