welshdragon 6 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi everyone, haven't been on the site for a little while as my son had a serious accident. He was on a friends farm a few weeks ago quad biking with his mates. The weather was really bad and the fields were wet, the quad skidded into a fence and Sam hit the top of the wooden fence with his stomach. We took him straight to hospital thinking that maybe he had broken a rib but his ribs were fine, he was scanned all over but nothing showed up so kept him in hospital for observation. The following afternoon he got much worse and was rushed to theatre for emergency surgery. We later found out that he tore his small bowel completely in half. He was very ill and spent the next 2 days in intensive care and the next 4 days on the high dependancy unit. Sam is now home but is very weak but slowly getting better. All the best W.D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 poor kid! i hope he recovers quickly! when i was in school one of my friends jumped into a swimming pool and hit the bottom of the pool (yes he shouldnt have been jumping into the shallow end!) he landed funny but he didnt think anything of it until later that night. he got up to go to the bathroom and passed out. his parents rushed to the hospital where they found he'd ruptured his spleen and was bleeding internally. i forgot how much time he missed from school because of the surgery and recovery involved.... of course being a teen age boy it didnt take him long to figure out that showing off his scar was a great way to get attention and show off his chest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
