Davids Experience


It seems that the only time I blog is when we have a trip to the hospital. I probably should start changing that so you can all see some upbeat pictures as well. Yesterday afternoon David was involved in a motorcycle accident. It happened in Odessa, Texas. He broke his right leg pretty bad. The femur is broken and the tabula and fibula are pretty shattered. He has had one surgery so far that was more of an exploratory surgery. They made an incision and have a wound vac attached to try and get rid of some of the gravel and fluid that is in there. Tomorrow they will go in and place some plates and rods in his leg to try and repair it. He did tare a lot of skin off of his calf so that made need a skin graph to help repair. Please keep him in your prayers. He has a long recovery ahead of him. I have posted a few pictures of him and one of the wound (as good as I could get at least).

I agree - you need to start posting some good news on this blog, and maybe that will make some of the bad stuff stop happening :) Get well soon, Dave!

I didn't know you had a blog. We are thinking and praying for your family. You will have to post how you guys are doing.
