So on Superbowl Sunday, we spent the night at the ER at Saint Alphonsus. Mike went dirtbiking with a couple of his buddies and got thrown from his bike which then in turn landed on him. He broke his femur and had surgery at 11pm Sunday night. He had an 11mm rod placed through his femur from the hip to the knee and has 4 screws holding it all in place. He's in pain, but doing great and we've had some amazing support and help from everyone. He'll be in the hospital a few days, but has already started physical therapy and I know he will do well. He will be on crutches for about 6-8 weeks and it will take up to 9 months for a full recovery, but he's free of a cast and is doing what he can to speed his healing as fast as possible. We've had a lot of help from friends. Billy and Bryson were amazing in helping get Mike taken care of and to the hospital and being there with us through this and everyone has called or stopped by to check on him. We've had family visiting and helping take care of little Michael so we can focus on getting Mike taken care of and preparing him for his recovery and getting him home. Beyond that, his work and friends there are and always have been so supportive and helpful. He has been getting offers for donated time off so he will continue to get paid leave and we don't have to worry about losing his income (his friend Russel is going to donate and AMAZING 3 weeks of time off). We are so grateful for everyone and all the blessings we have through this.
