Miracles

My brother was in a accident last Wednesday.  His truck broke down in Payson so him and his friend were trying to load it on to a trailer so that they could bring it back to my parents house to work on it.  Well it was on of the trailers that angle down or up. well my brother was standing in front of the trailer and his friend was driving it up onto the trailer. well the brakes went out and the E brake failed and the truck went off the front of the trailer when it tipped forward.  The trailer tipped down pinning my brothers foot and the truck landed on his leg pinning him between his truck and his friends truck.   Its amazing Riley wasn't crushed or that he doesn't have any bruises or scrapes on his back because he dented the bumper of his friends truck pretty well.  His leg how ever wasn't so fortunate.  His foot came 3/4 of the way off and his leg was twisted in an s shape around the truck and trailer. Once the paramedics arrived on the scene they had the truck off with in twenty minuets and he was rushed to Payson hospital.  Upon arriving at the hospital the Dr. looked at his leg and determined that it was way to serious and above his skill level so they life flighted him to the hospital in Provo.  We were lucky that we were even able to get in to see him since the whole hospital was on shutdown do to a criminal that had escaped through the ER bathroom ceiling.  mean less to say I didn't feel to safe in there while the Army, Swat Team, K-9 unit, and 10+ police officers were all in bullet proof vest.
When they cleaned Riley up the best they could we were allowed in to see him. the Doctors weren't to hopeful that they would be able to save his leg and rated it a 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 of worst case scenario. but they said they would try.  Riley was given a blessing then rushed off to surgery.  After the surgery was complete the Dr's were amazed for his leg being partially amputated none of his major arteries were injured and the smaller bone in his leg was in perfect condition and he hadn't received any nerve damage.  They did how ever have to take out six inches of bone, and some muscle.  They were very hopeful now that his leg could be saved and made plans to transport him to IMed in Sandy.  he has been there since Thursday and has had three surgeries removing muscle and bone, placing in rods and giving him various grafts.  all the Doctors are amazed at how well he is doing.  were hoping that he will be able to come home for a week or two on Saturday so fingers crossed.  
It truly is a miracle that his leg wasn't cut off I have no idea how it wasn't after looking at the pictures and I am even more amazed that the one leg in his bone was broken at all I'm not sure how it was possible and the Dr's are a little stumped to but, It is a testament how strong the priesthood and prayers are. I'm am thankful for the love that friends and family have shown my family.
