Aii, yai, yaii!

Oh my.....! Will went snowmobiling this weekend with Wes and Ben (from work) and ended up coming home earlier than they had expected. Will jumped on his sled just outside the parking lot and went over a little jump, just like many do to get warmed up, but his throttle on his sled got stuck...All happened so quickly...he went zooming through the air at 50 mph, hit a tree, and then was projected through the air, and landed some feet away face down in the snow. (luckily, he was wearing a helmet as he always does) We are very, very lucky and very, very thankful to have a daddy and husband still! We ended up taking Will to the hospital and they did a CAT scan to see if everything was okay. Will is extremely lucky! He has bruised kidneys and spleen, and torn tissue in his neck, but nothing is broken, or punctured! Will is doing great, but just super sore and achy! Oh how we looooove our daddy!!

I live in fear of these stories when I send my "boys" to the snow with the Garrett boys. Glad you went to the Doc - take it easy!

Wow, what a scare! Thankful he's O.K. By today, he's probably not feeling too chipper and not moving too swiftly! Ya think his brother will slow his sled down?
