Trip to the ER!

Now, one might think that at 38 weeks 3 days pregnant a trip to the ER would be about me or the baby. But if you know Dan you might think otherwise... Since its finally nice outside and our little world is about to change drastically we decided to go to the motocross park about 1 hour away and let Dan get in one more ride before Dexter arrives. Dan was riding for about 40min when on the face of a jump he accidentally shifted into neutral this meant he had no power to keep the front wheel up and he slammed into the next hill. I happened to be right there taking a picture and saw him fly over the handlebars and getting his legs trapped under the bike when it landed. Dan immediately thought he broke some fingers and dislocated his right shoulder so we packed up the bike with the help of some guys there and drove back to Dayton. When he arrived at the ER his pressure was 74/40 and he looked like he could pass out so they got him on a stretcher right away, by this point he also had left rib pain so they worried about possible internal bleeding. After ultrasounds and CT-Scans, IV Fluids, Blood draws and a tetanus shot it was determined that he had no internal injuries but he did have bruised ribs, a broken right collarbone, a broken right finger and lots of cuts and bruises. They also want him to come back in a few days and have another CT of his facial bones because he might or might not have a small break near his nose/right eye. They would have done it today but they didn't want to give him another dose of IV contrast. He is also following up with orthopedics on Monday or Tuesday.

Dan Update

Dan's big news is next Tuesday (September 2nd) he will be defending his thesis. This is one of the major milestones for his PhD. Hopefully it goes really well for him!

He has a meeting with his new Urologist today, just a quick meeting to make him aware of Dan's case since Dr. Lewis has moved just in case anything happens in the future.

He has been riding motocross every other weekend since he got his bike, and below are a couple pictures he wanted to show. The first is him jumping, the second is him after 30min of racing around in the dirt. The dirt is even on his teeth! I thought it was gross, but he was strangely proud of it :)

Motocross






















We finally got to break in the motocross bike this weekend. We went to a local track and spend about 2 hours just setting everything up, watching Dan ride and then having Dan teach me how to ride a motorcycle. I was certain I would fall over, but amazingly I never did. Course once you look at the monster hills I was riding over you will see why I didn't fall. Dan pictures are up top and mine are below. That 5year old was burning past me, haha!

Vroom, Vroom




Dan's new dirt bike and trailer. The trailer came in 13 boxes and Dan put it together after taking over the garage for 2 days. The bike is 2003 Honda CR125. He also received all the gear he needed slowly over the last 2 weeks from various online stores and eBay. This Saturday we will be hitting the track and I am sure some action photos will follow!
