So Sunday I was heading down to spend the day with my family, really looking forward to a visit with my Grandparent (whom I haven't seen in way to long!) Well I had just got to Bunkerville and settled in when I got a call from one of Kent's friends that he had been in an accident and they were on their way to the ER.
I packed Zak back in the truck and we headed back to Cedar with the cruise control set because I surely didn't trust my foot to hold a reasonable speed.
When we got to the hospital I learned that he had been bucked off a horse. He was heading up the mountain to go scouting for deer. The trip literally had just started when Kent was getting on the horse the saddle slipped and Kent went flying. Now I know little about horses but apparently that is bad!
He ended up with stitches in his chin, lip and a broken nose. That was the cosmetic damage. He also had a concussion. I have never been around this condition before and it is pretty scary. I spent the entire night repeating the answers to his questions a 100 times each. By the end of the night he knew it was Sunday, June 29 and he was 30 (and felt it). He knew what happened but still couldn't remember it.
24 plus hours later he is in pain and swollen but his head is back on straight. I know that it didn't turn out to be too big of a deal but it did remind me how important he is to me and how horrible it would be if anything happened to him. I keep hugging him today and I know he thinks I am crazy but I am sure glad he broke his nose and nothing else!

HOLY COW! That is so sad! And scary! How is he doing now? Tell him to get better fast and that we are thinking of him.
Wow! I am glad he is okay!! I am sure that was the worst drive home from Bunkerville. You are a nice wife for not posting pictures of his swollen face, I am not sure I would be that nice to Bryce. Tell him to hang in there- I bet you're a great nurse.
