My dad crashed paragliding in Provo Saturday. He was ambulanced up to the IMC, he broke his pelvis in three place and his wrist is shattered. They are hoping not to have to operate on the pelvis but need to wait and see if the bones shift anymore. The wrist is horrible and they are waiting for the hand specialist to decide when to operate. He will most likely lose some mobility in his wrist. He has a hard road ahead of him and I hope he can handle being down for at least 6 to 8 weeks. I think it finally hit him that he may not be able to do some of the things that he loves anymore. We are just glad that it wasn't worse. Hopefully my dad will start slowing down just a little. Probably not but we can hope can't we.
