Prayers for your Grandson......Prayers for those attending him and wisdom in treating his issues. Prayers for you and yours montanajoe, may God's peace cover this situation..
Prayers going out from here Joe for your grandson.
Sorry to hear this Joe. Our Prayers for your grandson. Please keep us updated. Hope he heals up soon. Oakie
Thanks all
Spiral fracture of the tibia. The other bone is the fibula. Were both bones fractured?
Skiers were getting one of those about once a week when I lived in Steamboat Springs Colorado. They flew them to Denver in the chopper.
It is a bad fracture but a good doc can fix it right up. Young people's bones heal up pretty well. I hope it goes well for him.
He will be added to my prayers.

Sorry to hear Joe, Prayers from Texas for your family.
Oooh....that's a painful one for sure. We see/hear of it a lot when skiers hit the deck and their bindings don't release.
Prayers for your grandson, Joe.

@montanajoe : any updates on your grandson today? I was thinking about what he's dealing with and thought I'd ask.

Thanks for asking.
Was released and back home this afternoon. Still hurting. Blood sugar is within good range, but emphasized how important it is that he keep very close check of it. This has always been hard to get through to him. Hopefully he will pay better attention.
