My 14 year old son is skiing. I just got a call from the ski area. They think he fractured his femur. They will xray and call me from the ski area. It sounds bad.

Just got a call. It is a fracture, all the way through, and displaced, but not compound. He's going to come to Denver by ambulance.

May his trip be quick and uneventful. I'm sending healing vibes so he is up and about as soon as possible.

Kim, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. It's never fun, and add it to the stress of a holiday week doesn't make it any better. I am sending healing vibes to your son, and hugs
and calming vibes to you!!!! Please let us know how he makes out.

On the bright side, he'll probably enjoy getting a cast!

I hope they can fix the break successfully and that he has a speedy recovery!

Although I'm not sure what they do to a femur. I think it'll be surgery and traction and icky stuff like that. He's still on the mountain, the ambulance hasn't started yet.

Aw Kim, sorry to hear that, but kids heal fast so I wouldn't be too upset. He'll probably think it's just a big adventure.

He'll most likely have to have pins or plates. Otherwise the bone won't stay together long enough for new bone to form.

Oh poor thing. It is going to be a long trip with the typical Sunday night traffic. Hope he's not in a lot discomfort. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry to hear that Kim
