Been a very long 24 hrs so far
« on: February 24, 2013, 09:56:11 PM »
Yesterday my daughter was hit in the back by another rider. It was over top of a hill and she got stuck behind another kid that was stuck in the mud. The other guy come up the hill 3rd pinned, over the top and nothing he could do. He hit her square in the back and he flipped a few times.

She was flown to Kosair.

She is in ICU with a lacerated liver, internal bleeding & fractured wrist. She stabilizing and Doc says she doing better. No surgery right now.
 The other guy was ambulated for a concussion.

Needless to say, it was a sucky first day back out riding.

So, many are getting back out as the weather breaks....be careful out there.

I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Thank you for wishes & prayers. Doc came in this morning and had pn tube removed. That the tube up nose to stomach to drain what's in stomach. That a good sign. He ordered her to begin getting out of bed this afternoon to sit in a chair at least once. So, things are looking better. I'm hoping she's released from ICU today.
