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.

Damn, damn, damn.
Happy to hear he’s on the road to recovery. Tough hombre you’ve got there. This, for sure.

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.

My heroes have always been cowboys and they still are it seems.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Young and tough. Should recover well. 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.

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.

He is recovering slowly now. He’s not paralyzed and has no brain damage but has a long road to recovery in front of him. He’s a trooper and has a positive attitude. This is one tough kid. And he’s my hero... Goes to show how fast life changing events can happen. Don’t take anything for granted and cherish time with your kids...
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.

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. Dwayne
