Uh-Oh

Scott had a fantastic mountain biking season. He really got some good time flying down various mountains at speeds I don't even want to know about. During his adventures, he was safe, hardly a scratch. Then, the last day of the season, after the lifts had closed and people started to store their bikes for the winter, he had a bike accident. Watson and he had gone to Park City to bike with the Chamberlains and take advantage of the last of good weather. While riding around the small bike park, doing tricks and such, his foot slipped. He got it caught between his bike and the obstacle. The result, six broken bones and two torn ligaments. It was a pretty severe injury, requiring surgery. Thankfully, Kelly and Brenda were there and helped get him to the Park City Hospital and keep Watson safe and occupied. It took about 10 days after the injury for the swelling to be minor enough to allow surgery. Recovery is happening beautifully, albeit slower than Scott would like. I'm grateful for doctors who are educated and inspired, and friends and family will to help. We expect a full recovery, Scott is working really hard in physical therapy. It just may be a while before he gets to wear two shoes again, or ride his bike.

In the meantime, he has mastered mobility on his knee scooter and continues to push the limit as he rides it along on two wheels. You can't keep a daredevil down. Thankfully.
