Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My son is my hero....

He’s really doing as good as can be expected. The got him walking already and they’re still assessing his injuries. He has some memory issues but seems like that’s getting better with time. Hes still doped up with pain meds so it’s hard to say where he’s at for sure. Thank you all for the kind words and support. I know many of you have been through the same or worse. It’s something a parent never wants to go through that’s for sure...

Dayom. Scarey. PTL for complete recovery. PTL for the medical miracles Drs now do every day.

What is it now to become a neurosurgeon? Near genius IQ and 20 years of study to be able to save someone like this.

God bless ya'll.

This, for sure.

First ride in an airplane and he’ll never remember it...

Hospital french fries.....I’m jealous

Best wishes to him on recovering.

Speedy recovery for him!!!
That xray looks pretty bad.
Did he hit a rock or something?
Get stomped by the horse?
Not being morbid asking.
Looks like alot of impact force concentrated hard.

Young and tough.
Should recover well.

Prayer sent for his recovery.

Damn, hope he heals up quick

Damn, quick healing to the young man, a person can get chit-canned for life lighting fast in a horse wreck.

My heroes have always been cowboys and they still are it seems.

They don’t know for sure what he hit with his head. Could have been the saddle horn or a rock or the calf got him but he was luckily on a good horse. The horse stood there through it all and never moved. He was in a big cloud of dust and no one really saw what he hit. The piece that was broken was actually broken into 4 pieces. So he hit something very hard. Looking at the X-ray it looks like that’s the thinnest part of the skull.

Chicks dig scars ! Losers buy tattoos .........................

Damn he broke it pretty good didn't he!

He'll be chasin' the girls again in no time. Kids tend to get back up on their feet and move forward instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for themselves.

Prayers for the boy, glad he's OK.

Cinch,

Nobody here could've said it better. My Dad had similar injuries when I was a little boy. He had extreme Traumatic Brain Injury. He miraculously came back to life, then recovered from a confirmed vegetative state that we were told was permanent.... 2 weeks after it happened and walked back home from the hospital.
I've survived multiple nearly deadly TBIs and more slowly recovered. Nevertheless, the Lord was responsible for my healing. One of my ministries is to encourage and minister to others who have suffered brain injuries and to their families. I am available to help. Feel free to contact me by PM... private message if I can be of service to you and your family.
I'm praying for your son.

Holy crap. Be thankful and good luck with the recovery

Prayers for your boy

Cinch;
Good evening sir, thanks for sharing this family experience with us.

As a fellow father who cradled my daughter in my lap on a fast ride to the hospital with a head injury, I can say I didn't enjoy it much at all.

This spring was the first time in something like 27 years I wasn't at a branding as my rancher buddy sold off his herd, so that's an activity I've some familiarity with as well.

My goodness, that pony gets an extra treat for the rest of his days and maybe a big hug too... horses can surely go either way sometimes and this time it was a major blessing it stood.

Please know your son and your family will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery for him with no lasting issues.

Man, things can go south in the blink of an eye.... hoping for a full recovery.

Cinch,

Sorry to hear this but glad he's doing as well as a kid can do.

All the best to you and yours.
