what i'm thankful for. . .
i never made my baja 1k trip. ye and i rode to yuma on wednesday night. arrived about 10 p.m. we grabbed something to eat, chips and mojito, went back to the room ate and crashed.
when we awoke in the morning, i was going to ride to calexico to meet george, cross the border and head to san felipe. so, i was waiting for the shower, decided to check my phone for messages. there was one from my daughter.
my youngest son, 20 year old austin, had been in a motorcycle accident.
my trip was over. now i had to stuff his broken bones in the back of my mind and ride 3 hours home, another 45 minutes up to the hospital.
it's been a long week, needless to say. he ended up with two broken bones in his forearm, 3 broken bones in his hand and 3 crushed fingers. his left kneecap was broken, with torn tendons. his right leg sports a torn ACL and LCL. all the surgery for the broken bones was done last wednesday night/thursday morning. his surgery to reconnect his LCL is tomorrow and then he has a long rehab/recovery ahead of him. he will need to have rods and plates removed in about 3 months and is on blood thinners to provent blood clots for the next 6 months.
but i'm thankful.
thankful that he's alive today.
thankful that he did not sustain head, neck, back, chest or organ damage.
thankful that God kept him wrapped in His loving hands and guided his surgeons.
i'm thankful for my family. my beautiful grandchildren, my wonderful children, for the new grandbaby that will arrive next april, a boy, gavin lane. i'm thankful for my wonderful, rock of a husband, he's my anchor in the storm.
i'm thankful that God has chosen to bless me so richly.

OMG Lynn...I am so sorry. Thank GOD he is going to be okay. I know he probably won't remember me - it's been a longggg time, but I'd really like to send a card - can you email me his hospital address? I'm sending hugs and prayers aplenty.
Love you.
