Alan's Accident

Ok, Alan was working out at Mt. Trumble on Thursday, he was suppose to come home that night and help me babysit my sister Natalie's kids....that bring my total to 8 kids until sunday....so anyway. I get his call around 1 saying he is headed into town to go to the hospital. I seriously thought he was kidding, or over reacting. But, turns out I was wrong. Turns out they were driving a Rhino back from a Lookout and it rolled. After a few hours at the hospital he calls me and tells me they are going into surgery...(what? Surgery for a broken foot?) So, Dr. Leon Reber....(sound familiar?) did his surgery, I found Mckay to babysit for my while I head down to the hospital so I am there when he gets out...I am waiting for 5 Hrs! I go up and see the surgeon, and he shows me this..... His after photo. He has 3 bright new plates of metal holding his bones together....and a rod, that will be removed in 4-6 weeks. The rest is all the staples closing his foot up from the surgery. So anyway, this has been my weekend. Alan is in the hospital until at least saturday, when they will determine if he needs another surgery.
