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!
