Owen entered the Dummy Roping over Memorial Day!
He is turning in to quite the roper.When we got home we were getting ready to rope, Owen went to get on his horse and she put her head down to eat and stepped through the reigns, when she put her head up she panicked and flipped over landing and then rolling on top of Owen. We had to pull him out from under neath her and he was instantly complaining about his back and his boy area. The neighbors called 911 for us and the ambulance was there within 15 minutes. Once they got him loaded they decided to call for a helicopter to meet us at the top of Pinedale Rd. Austin and I were not allowed to ride with him and had to drive to meet him in the Valley. He ended up staying for three nights and had a cracked pelvis, spine and some really bad bruising all over his body. Luckily all his wounds would have to heal on their own. All I know is seeing him be put in the ambulance and then the helicopter is one of the hardest things to go through and then he was barely able to move his legs when trying to walk on crutches. I want to thank RH, Colleen, Jodi, Mark, Uncle Bide and Aunt Pam for being at the hospital when he got there and giving him a blessing. He was so happy to see family and I couldn't stand the thought of him being all alone. Thanks to my mom and dad and Austins mom and dad for coming to be with us in the hospital too. Thanks to Trina too for helping with all the animals and especially the twins. All I know is prayers are answered and I am so thankful for all the prayers that were said in his behalf. For an update we have been back to the Dr. for a check up and everything is healing great and Owen is back on Chevy and roping too!!
