Crested Butte 2015 ~ Will's Collarbone

This is the view from the top of the mountain on the last run of the last day.  Simply beautiful!  Dad was already back at the condo to get ready for a sleigh ride 10 year anniversary dinner.  The boys and mom were taking one more run with the group before calling it a day.

I was so proud of how well the boys were skiing.  I snapped this picture of Will on the left and Thomas on the right.  Next I started videoing them skiing and they were both doing great.  Then out of nowhere, Will fell and rolled over and over and over.  I was right behind him and could tell by the way he was really hurt.
A lady asked if we needed Ski Patrol and I said yes.  Our friend Stephen was skiing behind us and stopped to help.  We got Will on the ski patrol sled and they carried him down to the emergency clinic at the bottom of the mountain.  Thomas went with Stephen, I went to meet Will and called Sam to tell him to cancel our dinner reservations! 
Will waiting for X-rays after the doctor did an exam of his shoulder ~   

X-rays confirmed the doctor's prediction ~ a broken collarbone!



Dad helping Will out of the office ~ with some pain medication to hopefully keep him from hurting too bad!
Pretty pale.......
The Moores were so sweet ~ they brought him some brownies, which helped him feel better right away!  He had a pretty good night sleep.  Only woke up once for pain medication.  It was hard to get comfortable, though!
The trip home was long, but the first day Will took several naps.  I'm not sure if it's because of the medication or if he was truly exhausted!
The second day on the road was better ~ as you can see on Will's silly face!




Will is such a trooper!
Finally home ~ and we were welcomed with a get well cake and balloons from our friends the Haynes!  It was very sweet and thoughtful of them!
