Story Time...

Thurs. the 20th of Aug. my dear sweet adventure loving, adrenaline junkie of a dad took quite a tumble. He Kevin, Scott, Brady, Carl and Blake all decided to go try a new motocross track in South Jordan. They were all having the time of their lives till they heard Kevin screaming over the roaring bikes for an ambulance. No one saw dad go down, and my dad has no memory of it at all, so no one really knows what or how it happened. Dad came to enough to talk them out of calling an ambulance. At the time they just thought it was his collar bone that was injured. So they drove him to an insta care. There his condition was going down fast, he was in an unbelievable amount of pain and unable to breath, so they got him an ambulance and took him to Lake View Hospital. Well from there things continued to worsen. They life flighted him to the U of U trama center.

Here is the shopping list.... I would have to say this is one of his best.

Five broken ribs, broken on both sides
Collapsed Lung (opposite lung that collapsed in skiing accident 6 mths ago)
Pnemothorax
Broken left thumb
Hemmorahging adrenal gland
Shattered scapula
Broken collar bone
Broken bone in vertabrae (T4)
Major mushed up swollen, road rashed hip

He was in intensive care for about a week and now has been released from the hospital. As you all know Farge is one very tough dude!!!! He says this is the worst pain he has ever been in or could imagine. Other then some scary spasms that comes with the ribs healing and just the pain he is still in, he is doing so good!! He has been walking a little bit more and things seem to be healing well. Its amazing how accidents like this will really show how amazing of friends and family we have. Dad had so many visitors at the hospital and at home, and so many people willing to help out with all of their everyday things that are a lot harder now. Thanks to all of you that have showed so much love and support for the family... WE LOVE YOU!!

 

Dad, hope to see you like this again sometime very soon!!!
