That Has to Hurt!!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted. I just posted about our dog and now it is time to post about a boy who fell.

On Feb. 21, 2009, Kestin was in attendance of a Boy Scout overnighter. On the morning of the 21st, the scouts and leaders went out for a hike. The were on top of what they call the Petrocliffs. Kestin was the first to the top of the "mountain". On the way back down, Kestin lost his footing and slipped 40 feet down the side of the mountain. The last 10-15 feet of the "mountain" was a drop off. Kestin landed in a bunch of Cactus.

He broke both of the bones in his lower leg about an 1 1/2" above the ankle. He was really lucky that he didn't get hurt worse. We found out later that out of all the places that he could land, he had the best spot. There were old tree stumps and boulders at the bottom. He could have broken his neck or worse died. We were very lucky.

The scout troup was about 10 miles in from the main highway so the trip back to the road in the bumpy truck was to say the very least painful for him. I am so grateful that the Priesthood was able to give him a blessing before they took off to the Emergency Room.

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!

A Very Sad Day

This morning at about 11:00 am, Bear was struck by a car on the Highway. We took him to the ER Vet and he had a spinal injury. His left side was paralyzed. There was nothing they could do to help him. We left the Vet and came home so that everyone could say goodbye. We are all very very sad that we lost our "Baby Bear".
