We skipped school for the day and went skiing. Jake took lessons for me this year, while I've been teaching Porter. We had a good ski day in January and thought Jake would get a more private lesson if we went on a week day.
The third time up the lift the accident happened. Nathan fell getting off the lift and tripped the person riding with him and she fell on him. He was crying but Nathan freaks out about little things so I moved him out from in front of the lift and tried to calm him down. We waited for the ski patrol. They got him on a sled and took him down the mountain.
We waited for the ambulance and they cut off his pants and figured his leg was broken and wanted to get him to the hospital in Driggs.
This x-ray is after they splinted it and sent us home to find an orthopedic surgeon. Luckily our family doctor got us a consult and we stopped on our way home at Mountain View Hospital for the night and had surgery the next morning.
Our drive from Driggs to Idaho Falls was terrible. I wish they would have life flighted him.
