Brock's Accident

Ok, so I know that there are a lot of you that are wanting to know exactly what happened....so here's the story....the true one. Brock was riding on Saturday and went off a jump with too much power. His bike sort of started to do a back flip in the air, so he decided to bail off. He pushed his bike forward and hit the ground super hard on his feet. He went to Kania clinic where they told him he would need to have surgery done. We waited until Monday to get into a sergion that then told us we would be needing to go to Seattle because it was in really bad shape(to put it in good terms). He went on Tuesday morning to get a CT done. We decided that we needed a second opinion, so we saw a doctor in WallaWalla that was very helpful. He explained everything to us. Brock's right foot is broken in many places. He has pieces of bone all over. He explained it was going to have to be a very in depth and difficult surgery that he wouldn't be able to do. He also referred us to a dr in Seattle. Brock and his parents headed up there today, wednesday, to have a consult and see what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. So i am (patiently) awaiting the news. Brock and I are currently in school, which makes this very hard for both of us. If you could please keep him in your prayers we would appreciate it. We know that this is a growing experience for the both of us and realize we are blessed that it isn't any worse than it is.
