Son hurt update

After 2 long days, the docs say that our son is going to recover fully. He has the broken arm and one vertebra smashed but the discs are OK. He must wear a turtle shell brace for three months when he is not in bed and is going to be sore for a long time, but he can handle that. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. A bunch of local farmer friends and others are all volunteering to help with his bean harvest and his expected 8 to 10 thousand pumpkin harvest.
He actually walked 90 feet today with help. We are all on cloud 9. Here is a local newspaper article about what happened.

Again, thanks very much. Richard
 
Falling from a tree stand happens a lot, it must have seemed like forever on the way down. Glad to hear he's going to be alright.
 
(quoted from post at 16:52:01 08/12/10) Falling from a tree stand happens a lot, it must have seemed like forever on the way down. Glad to hear he's going to be alright.

Fall was prolly refreshing on a hot day. just that sudden stop could have been a little gentler :roll:

Glad he's OK though. Just saw the neighbor and he says he's doing everything he used to do just with a back belt/brace when he's in doubt.
