THE BIG PINCH!!!

Steve had the misfortune of being stuck between the big white truck and the bucket of the loader for about 15 min. on Dec 7Th. He had his back to the loader and was moving hay on the bed of the white truck, both pieces were running. The loader moved about 4 feet coming up behind him pinning him between the tire and the loader bucket, breaking his femur,causing a compound fracture. He called 911 and then tried the boys, to get someone to come move the loader off of him as it was continuing to push. A neighbor was out for a walk after being sick for 4 months(she will never walk past our house again) Steve hollered at her, she came over and he talked her into moving that big loader. I talked to her later and she said that she "just kept praying to God that she was moving the loader in the right direction and that her foot was on the brake". Steve said that she was "crying pretty hard when they put him in the ambulance". I talked to him on his cell phone on his trip to Harboriew Hosp. He said that he "felt pretty bad about ruining that ladies day". He had surgery that afternoon and spent 5 days in the hosp. We just got his stitches out on the 30Th of Dec. They are impressed at how well he is healing, due to the amount of soft tissue damage he had recieved. Iam not surprised, his brother Jason and nephew Jason Jr. where at the Hosp. when he came out of 4 hours of surgery, and he received a priesthood blessing. He can't remember it, he was snoring through a good amount of it,(lots of medication on board, for which we are both happy.) But I have no worries that it would go any other way. We are so blessed and watched over, If that bucket had been a little higher the outcome would have been very different. Thanks to a very kind Heavenly Father for his tender mercies. I am humbled. Steve will be toe touch weight bearing for 10 weeks. His surgeon said at least 3 months before he will be climbing into the feed truck.. Skyler thank goodness was at a point that he could leave his job come home to take over for his dad, so between him, Greg, and my nephew Nathan, they are keeping things feed and in off of the roads.
We are blessed.
