The Cohrons Need You

[Corey Cohron RIP]

Our sons were walking their friend Amelia home tonight (she lives in our neighborhood, and our rule is that you always walk a lady home after dark). On the way, Amelia told Wil to give her a piggy back ride. Somehow, it didn't all work out; they both fell, and she fell on his leg. Liam came running back in yelling, "Wil's on the ground and can't move!"

Billy drove around the corner and found Wil on the ground. He asked if he could stand, and when Wil tried to, he squeaked in pain. Billy picked up our young man, put him in the car, and carried him into the house.

Wil's lower left leg was swelling up pretty quickly. We had friends over and asked for their opinions, too. The four of us decided he should probably go to the hospital. As it turns out, it was the right decision.

Wil broke both lower bones in his leg. His tibia is broken at a wicked angle, and the fibula doesn't look so hot either. We were advised not to let him put ANY weight on it until he sees the orthopedist at 8AM tomorrow so as not to do any more damage. He also can't eat or drink after midnight in case he needs surgery.

Yes, these things happen. It's just so hard when it's your own child.

Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow!
