My 38 yr old son got hurt mountain biking last Friday. He has been in terrible pain with 7 broken ribs on his left side, (broken near the spinal column), his right elbow is broken in 4 places and his left wrist is shattered. My son is a Dr in the military and is left handed.
On Tues. at 1:30 PM PST he was taken into surgery to repair the breaks in his wrist and elbow. After 3 hrs, my dil got word that they had only done his elbow with plates and screws and had a hard time getting those in because the breaks kept moving etc. Finally at just after 8 she got word he was taken to the ICU for recovery.
He is understandibly in great pain and is experiencing numbness in some fingers on the wrist injury side inwhich they used 13 screws to get it back together. The Dr thinks it's because they had to manipulate the nerves so much. Another great concern is him getting pneumonia and more so with having the broken ribs. So please keep him, my dil and g'daughter lifted in prayer.
I'm trying to make arrangements to fly down to CA after I've gotten some of my DR appts seen to next week. Right now I'm not finding room for Choco, my furbaby, at any of the boarding kennels that my vet referred me to.
Thanks, everyone!

Your son is in my prayers. Please keep us posted on his progress.

Your son is in my thoughts and I'm sending good "vibes" his way. Please let us know how he progresses!

Oh, Lenora, I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I'm lifting him up in prayer right now. I'll also be praying for you that God will smooth the way for you to get there to be with him. I know that you know He is our ever present help in trouble.

Lenora, Your son, his family and your entire family are in my prayers during this very trying time - and the trying time that will be sure to follow as he starts healing and isn't able to do everything he did before. I'm so sorry for what's happened and pray that he can heal in both body and mind.

And I sure hope you can find someone for your furbaby - how terrible that no one recommended can take Choco - do not be afraid to give your emergency story - as maybe one of them will find a way to squeeze in "just one more".

Oh, Lenora! I'm so sorry your son is hurt. I'll be sending up prayers for him, DIL and the doctors as they patch him back together. He must have had quite a tumble!

Sending prayers and good wishes your family's way! Please keep us posted as you can.

Lenora so sorry to hear about your son. Know that has to be a great pain to you to know he is injuried and not be there to see him right now. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Keep us posted on his progress.
