We have had quite the past few days......nothing I would wish on anyone! Jodi and Russ headed to Price for a date so my mom took her kids down to the farm to look for deer. When it was time to leave, the kids jumped in the back of the truck but Colton stopped to pick up a bug near the front tire. My mom had no idea that he hadn't jumped in with the other kiddos and ran over him. Luckily Devin had his cell phone and my mom was able to call 911. The ambulance took Colton to Castleview and then they life flighted him to Primary Children's.
Needless to say, Colton is doing good. He has broken BOTH of his femurs (but not on the growth plate). They inserted two rods in each leg and are confident that he will heal really well. His spine is okay and the CT scan looked great. He is such a awesome kid who has a BIG future in front of him. Even thought football and basketball are out of the question this year......baseball will be calling and Colton will be kicking butt and taking names.
As far as my mom goes, she is having a hard time. I just want to let her know that I love her so much and that their is not a better mom or grandma in the entire world. I have never met such a fun and outgoing person in my life. She loves her grandkids so much and they think the world of her. She is one tough cookie and has been to hell and back the past few years. She is my rock and my hero and will always be.
I love you both. I know that it is going to be a long recovery. We have been through a lot together so we can make it through this.
